A motor vehicle has a mass of 1.8 tonnes and its wheelbase is 3 m. The centre of gravity of the vehicle is situated in the centr

al plane 0.9 m above the ground and 1.7 m behind the front axle. When moving on the level at 90 km/h the brakes applied and it comes to a rest in a distance of 50 m.
Calculate the normal reactions at the front and rear wheels during the braking period and the least coefficient of friction required between the tyres and the road. (Assume g = 10 m/s2)

Answer:

1) The normal reactions at the front wheel is 9909.375 N

The normal reactions at the rear wheel is 8090.625 N

2) The least coefficient of friction required between the tyres and the road is 0.625

Explanation:

1) The parameters given are as follows;

Speed, u = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

Distance, s it takes to come to rest = 50 m

Mass, m = 1.8 tonnes = 1,800 kg

From the equation of motion, we have;

v² - u² = 2·a·s

Where:

v = Final velocity = 0 m/s

a = acceleration

∴ 0² - 25² = 2 × a × 50

a = -6.25 m/s²

Force, F =  mass, m × a = 1,800 × (-6.25) = -11,250 N

The coefficient of friction, μ, is given as follows;

\mu =\dfrac{u^2}{2 \times g \times s} = \dfrac{25^2}{2 \times 10 \times 50} = 0.625

Weight transfer is given as follows;

W_{t}=\dfrac{0.625 \times 0.9}{3}\times \dfrac{6.25}{10}\times 18000 = 2109.375 \, N

Therefore, we have for the car at rest;

Taking moment about the Center of Gravity CG;

F_R × 1.3 = 1.7 × F_F

F_R + F_F = 18000

F_R + \dfrac{1.3 }{1.7} \times  F_R = 18000

F_R = 18000*17/30 = 10200 N

F_F = 18000 N - 10200 N = 7800 N

Hence with the weight transfer, we have;

The normal reactions at the rear wheel F_R  = 10200 N - 2109.375 N = 8090.625 N

The normal reactions at the front wheel F_F =  7800 N + 2109.375 N = 9909.375 N

2) The least coefficient of friction, μ, is given as follows;

\mu = \dfrac{F}{R} =  \dfrac{11250}{18000} = 0.625

The least coefficient of friction, μ = 0.625.

A fluid of specific gravity 0.96 flows steadily in a long, vertical 0.71-in.-diameter pipe with an average velocity of 0.90 ft/s
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

0.00650 Ib s /ft^2

Explanation:

diameter ( D ) = 0.71 inches = 0.0591 ft

velocity = 0.90 ft/s ( V )

fluid specific gravity = 0.96 (62.4 )  ( x )

change in pressure ( P ) = 0 because pressure was constant

viscosity =  (change in p - X sin∅ ) D^{2} / 32 V

              = ( 0 - 0.96( 62.4) sin -90 ) * 0.0591 ^2  / 32 * 0.90

              = - 59.904 sin (-90) * 0.0035 / 28.8

              = 0.1874 / 28.8

  viscosity = 0.00650 Ib s /ft^2

Can I get an answer to this question please
crimeas [40]

Answer:

  (i) 12 V in series with 18 Ω.

  (ii) 0.4 A; 1.92 W

  (iii) 1,152 J

  (iv) 18Ω — maximum power transfer theorem

Explanation:

<h3>(i)</h3>

As seen by the load, the equivalent source impedance is ...

  10 Ω + (24 Ω || 12 Ω) = (10 +(24·12)/(24+12)) Ω = 18 Ω

The open-circuit voltage seen by the load is ...

  (36 V)(12/(24 +12)) = 12 V

The Thevenin's equivalent source seen by the load is 12 V in series with 18 Ω.

__

<h3>(ii)</h3>

The load current is ...

  (12 V)/(18 Ω +12 Ω) = 12/30 A = 0.4 A . . . . load current

The load power is ...

  P = I^2·R = (0.4 A)^2·(12 Ω) = 1.92 W . . . . load power

__

<h3>(iii)</h3>

10 minutes is 600 seconds. At the rate of 1.92 J/s, the electrical energy delivered is ...

  (600 s)(1.92 J/s) = 1,152 J

__

<h3>(iv)</h3>

The load resistance that will draw maximum power is equal to the source resistance: 18 Ω. This is the conclusion of the Maximum Power Transfer theorem.

The power transferred to 18 Ω is ...

  ((12 V)/(18 Ω +18 Ω))^2·(18 Ω) = 144/72 W = 2 W

An 1800-W toaster, a 1400-W electric frying pan, and a 75-W lamp are plugged into the same outlet in a 15-A, 120-V circuit. The
Mila [183]

Answer:

a) Current drawn by the toaster = 15A

Current drawn by the electric frying pan = 11.67A

Current drawn by the lamp = 0.625A

b) This combination will blow the 15A fuse as the total current requirement for this setup exceeds the 15A rating of the fuse.

Explanation:

a) For parallel connection, there exists, the same voltage and different currents across all the devices.

Voltage cross each of the 3 devices = outlet voltage of 120V

From their respective power rating, current drawn by each device will be calculated.

P = IV

For the toaster, P = 1800 W, V = 120V

I = 1800/120 = 15A

For the electric frying pan, P = 1400 W, V = 120 V

I = 1400/120 = 11.67 A

For the lamp, P = 75 W, V = 120V

I = 75/120 = 0.625 A

b) Total current in a parallel connection setup = Sum total of all the currents.

Total current drawn by all 3 devices = 15 + 11.67 + 0.625 = 27.295A = 27.3 A

This total current requirement surpasses the 15A current rating of the fuse, therefore, this combination will blow the fuse.

Hope this Helps!!!

Which of the following describes design components that deal with the outward appearance or beauty of an object?
lisov135 [29]

Aesthetic elements are the components that are added to the design to be considered pleasing to the eye.

<h3>What are aesthetic elements?</h3>

They are those characteristics of an object that deal with the outward appearance or beauty of an object, that is, they are those elements that make it valuable, appreciable, relevant or transcendent.

To do this, the qualities must be in the design of the object but must also be perceived by the consumer, the aesthetic being what we like to perceive in objects.

Therefore, we can conclude that aesthetic elements are the components that are added to the design to be considered pleasing to the eye.
