A small truck is to be driven down a 4% grade at 70 mi/h. The coefficient of road adhesion is 0.95, and it is known that the bra

king efficiency is 80% when the truck is empty and decreases by one percentage point for every 100 lb of cargo added. Ignoring aerodynamic resistance, if the driver wants the truck to be able to achieve a minimum theoretical stopping distance of 275 ft from the point of brake application, what is the maximum amount of cargo (in pounds) that can be carried?

Answer:

Maximum amount of cargo(in lbs)  =   1455 lbs

Explanation:

Assume the maximum amount of cargo is w ,

The breaking efficiency will be given by

  1.  E = (80 - 0.01 w) %

Stopping distance is given by formula ,

    Stopping distance =    \frac{v^{2} }{2g(u - 0.01n)E}

where,

            v (velocity),  u (coefficient of road adhesion), n (grade)

Put E from equation 1

Stopping distance = \frac{v^{2} }{2g(u - 0.01n)(80 - 0.01w)0.01}

Stopping distance is given as 275 ft ,

 V= 70 mi/hr  = 70 x 1.4667 ft/s = 102.67 ft/s

Put all given values in above equation

275 =  \frac{(102.67)^{2} }{2(32.18)(0.95 - 0.01(4))(80 - 0.01w)0.01}

(80 - 0.01w )  =   \frac{(102.67)^{2} }{2(32.18)(0.91)(0.01)(275)}

( 80 - 0.01w )  =  65.45

 0.01w =  ( 80 - 65.45)

   w =   14.55 x 100

  w = 1455 lbs

What is the instantaneous center of zero velocity? List two approaches for determining the is the instantaneous center of zero v
Lera25 [3.4K]

Explanation:

Instantaneous center:

   It is the center about a body moves in planer motion.The velocity of Instantaneous center is zero and Instantaneous center can be lie out side or inside the body.About this center every particle of a body rotates.

From the diagram

Where these two lines will cut then it will the I-Center.Point A and B is moving perpendicular to the point I.

If we take three link link1,link2 and link3 then I center of these three link will be in one straight line It means that they will be co-linear.

I_{12},I_{23},I_{31} all\ are\ co-linear.

Write a function call with arguments tensPlace, onesPlace, and userInt. Be sure to pass the first two arguments as pointers. Sam
Trava [24]

Answer:

#include <stdio.h>

void SplitIntoTensOnes(int* tensDigit, int* onesDigit, int DecVal){

  *tensDigit = (DecVal / 10) % 10;

  *onesDigit = DecVal % 10;

  return;

}

int main(void) {

  int tensPlace = 0;

  int onesPlace = 0;

  int userInt = 0;

  userInt = 41;

  SplitIntoTensOnes(&tensPlace, &onesPlace, userInt);

  printf("tensPlace = %d, onesPlace = %d\n", tensPlace, onesPlace);

  return 0;

}

The compressed-air tank has an inner radius r and uniform wall thickness t. The gage pressure inside the tank is p and the centr
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The Inside pressure (p) = 1402 kPa

= 1.402 × 10³ Pa

Force (F) = 13 kN

= 13 × 10³ N

Thickness (t) = 18 mm

= 18 × 10⁻³ m

Radius (r) = 306 mm

= 306 × 10⁻³ m

Suppose we choose the tensile stress to be (+ve) and the compressive stress to be (-ve)

Then;

the state of the plane stress can be expressed as follows:

(\sigma_ x)  = \dfrac{Pd}{4t}+ \dfrac{F}{2 \pi rt}

Since d = 2r

Then:

(\sigma_ x)  = \dfrac{Pr}{2t}+ \dfrac{F}{2 \pi rt}

(\sigma_ x)  = \dfrac{1402 \times 306 \times 10^3}{2(18)}+ \dfrac{13 \times 10^3}{2 \pi \times 306\times 18 \times 10^{-3} \times 10^{-3}}

(\sigma_ x)  = \dfrac{429012000}{36}+ \dfrac{13000}{34607.78467}

(\sigma_ x)  = 11917000.38

(\sigma_ x)  = 11.917 \times 10^6 \ Pa

(\sigma_ x)  = 11.917 \ MPa

\sigma_y = \dfrac{pd}{2t} \\ \\ \sigma_y = \dfrac{pr}{t} \\ \\  \sigma _y = \dfrac{1402\times 10^3 \times 306}{18} \ N/m^2 \\ \\ \sigma _y = 23.834 \times 10^6 \ Pa \\ \\ \sigma_y = 23.834 \ MPa

When we take a look at the surface of the circular cylinder parabolic variation, the shear stress is zero.

Thus;

\tau _{xy} =0
