A CAT 834H for-wheel tractor (rubber tires, high pressure), whose operating weight can be found at www.cat.com, is pulled up a road whose slope is +3.0% at a uniform speed. If the average tension in the towing cable is 6060 lb, what is the rolling resistance of the road? This would be what type of road surface?
