If the vehicle mass is 800 kg, what is the gradient force (approximate value in N) caused by the road gradient 10%?(a) 500 N(b) 600 N(c) 700 N(d) 800 NI got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.I want to ask this question from Vehicles and Powertrain in division Emission Control Methods, Electric & Conventional Vehicles of Automobile Engineering

Answer» CORRECT option is (d) 800 N

To explain I would SAY: Fgradient = mvehicle * g * sin (α).For small ANGLE, sin (α) = α. HENCE, α = 10% = 0.1 rad. TAKING g = 10 m/s^2, Fgradient = 800*10*0.1 = 800 N.
