Technician A says that the aspect ratio of a tire represents the relationship between the tire's cross-sectional height to its c

ross-sectional width. Technician B says that low aspect ratios provide a softer ride because they will deflect more over irregular surfaces and under heavy loads. Who is correct?
a. Technician A
b. Technician B
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

Often referred to as the profile or series, the aspect ratio of a tire is determined by dividing a tire’s section height by its section width when the tire is: inflated to maximum air pressure, mounted on the approved measuring rim, and under no load. This rules out Technician B.

A tire with a lower aspect ratio responds to lateral force more effectively than a tire with a higher aspect ratio. The aspect ratio affects steering stability. Generally, the shorter the sidewall, or the lower the aspect ratio, the less time it takes to transmit the steering input from the wheel to the tread. The result is quicker steering response. Aspect ratio also affects the tread contact patch. As a rule, a low-profile tire produces a wider tread contact patch. This wider tread contact patch creates a stiffer footprint that reduces distortion and provides improved cornering traction. Aspect ratio also impacts ride. A low-profile tire usually has a stiffer ride than the standard aspect ratio of 75 or more.

To answer the two questions, we need to know two important equations involving centripetal movement:

v = ωr (ω represents angular velocity <u>in radians</u>)

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

Let's apply the first equation to question a:

v = ωr

v = ((1800*2π) / 60) * 0.26

Wait. 2π? 0.26? 60? Let's break down why these numbers are written differently. In order to use the equation v = ωr, it is important that the units of ω is in radians. Since one revolution is equivalent to 2π radians, we can easily do the conversion from revolutions to radians by multiplying it by 2π. As for 0.26, note that the question asks for the units to be m/s. Since we need meters, we simply convert 26 cm, our radius, into meters. The revolutions is also given in revs/min, and we need to convert it into revs/sec so that we can get our final units correct. As a result, we divide the rate by 60 to convert minutes into seconds.

Back to the equation:

v = ((1800*2π)/60) * 0.26

v = (1800*2(3.14)/60) * 0.26

v = (11304/60) * 0.26

v = 188.4 * 0.26

v = 48.984

v = 49 (m/s)

Now that we know the linear velocity, we can find the centripetal acceleration:

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

a = \frac{49^{2}}{0.26}

a = 9234.6 (m/s^{2})

Wow! That's fast!

<u>We now have our answers for a and b:</u>

a. 49 (m/s)

b. 9.2 * 10^{3} (m/s^{2})

If you have any questions on how I got to these answers, just ask!

The LR5 is the specialist submarine for underwater rescue. The average density of seawater is 1028 kg/ m3.
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

P = 7196 [kPa]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using the expression that defines the pressure depending on the height of water column.

P = dens*g*h

where:

dens = 1028 [kg/m^3]

g = 10 [m/s^2]

h = 700 [m]

Therefore:

P = 1028*10*700

P = 7196000 [Pa]

P = 7196 [kPa]

An aircraft has a liftoff speed of 33 m/s. What is the minimum constant acceleration an
JulsSmile [24]

Answer: The minimum acceleration for the air plane is 2.269m/s2.

Explanation: To solve such problem the equation of motion are applicable.

The initial velocity is 0 since the airplane was initially standing. We are going to use this equation

V^2=U^2+2as

33^2=0+2a (240)

a= 2.269m/s2
