Geography | The stress or force exerted by flowing water on the river bed. Source: European Union. (references) |
| The force which the water exerts on the wetted perimeter of a channel because of the motion of water; this force acts in the direction of flow and not normal to the surface as does the static water pressure; further, it is not the force on a single particle, but the force exerted on a certain area of the bed or banks. Source: European Union. (references) | |
Mining | A. The pull exerted by a haulage rope on the drawbar of a car to overcome the frictional resistance of the car and the force of gravity acting on it. Also, the force available at the wheels of a locomotive to move the machine and its attached load. Syn:tractive effort b. The pull that a locomotive is capable of producing at its drawbar c. In hydraulics, drag or shear developed on the wetted area of a streambed, acting in the direction of flow. As measured per unit of wetted area, unit tractive force equals the specific weight of water timeshydraulic radius times slope of channel bed (Chow, 1957). (references) |
