probles 6 An incline 500 metres long dipping at 1 in 6 is to be
WOTked by a direct rope haulage. The carrying capacity of a tub is
1 tonne and tare is 500 kg. 8 tubs are hauled in each train at a
speed of 9 kilometres per hour. Calculate the power of the haulage
motor in KW if the gear efficiency is 70% and moton efficiency is
84%. Assume co-efficeint offriction for tubs as aand for rope
as Weight of rope is 1.5 kg per metre. (Second class. 1978)
