Tractive force is 'static friction'. Like the friction experienced between your car tyres and the road when accelerating from a stand-still.

How do you work out tractive effort?

To calculate tractive effort, you need to know the weight of the vehicle or object being pulled and the coefficient of friction between the tires or wheels and the surface. Tractive effort is calculated by multiplying the weight by the coefficient of friction. This gives you the force required to move the object against resistance.


Calculate the power required to move a vehicle with tractive resistance of 280 N over a horizontal surface at a constant speed of 18m's?

By Tractive Resistances I assume the total driving resistances including air resistance, rolling resistance etc.. In this to move the vehicle at a constant speed the driving force should be equal to tractive resistance. This means driving force at wheel is 280 N. Power = Force * Velocity 280 * 18 = 5040 W = 5.04 KW.


Which was more powerful the bigboy locomotive or the diesel locomotive?

Modern day diesel electrics have greater tractive effort than the UP 4000 class. The GE ES44ac generates 183,000lbs of tractive effort at start up and have a continuous tractive effort of 166,000lbs. A Big Boy can only get up to 135,000lbs of tractive effort
