Example
Calculation of the traction F
st
F
st
= m  g  sin 
Calculation of the climbing power P
st
P
st
= m  g  sin   v / 3600
with v = km/h and the following values:
• Vehicle weight
m
=
1500 kg
• Angle of inclination

=
9°
• Speed
v
=
100 km/h
• Acceleration due to
gravity
g
=
9,81 m/s
2
the result is:
• = 2302 N
and
P
st
= 64 kW = 89 PS
