A contractor is planning to use a tracked dozer (manufacturer's performance data is shown in Figure 6.3) to clear and grub a construction site. The dozer is powered with a six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine and weighs 39,800 pounds. The ground conditions are very muddy with an estimated coefficient of trac- tion of 0.6. The construction site is located at an elevation of 4,000 feet. What is the maximum speed that the dozer can clear and grub when operating in second gear up an 8% slope?

Need solution A runway is being constructed in a new airport as per the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) recommendations. The elevation and the airport reference temperature of the airport are 535 m above the mean sea level and 22.65°C, respectively. Consider the effective gradient of runway as 1%. The length of runway required for a design-aircraft under the standard condition is 2000 m. Within the framework of applying sequential corrections as per the ICAO recommendations, the length of runway corrected for the temperature is
