The dragster has a mass of 1.3 Mg and a center of mass at G. A parachute is attached at C provides a horizontal braking force of

F= (1.8v^2) N, where v is in m/s. Determine the deceleration the dragster can have upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground i.e., the normal reaction at B is zero. Neglect the mass of the wheels and assume the engine is disengaged so that the wheels are free to roll.G is 1.25m from A and B.

Answer:

The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is  16.33 m/s²

Explanation:

The additional information to the question is embedded in the diagram attached below:

The height between the dragster and ground is considered to be 0.35 m since is not given ; thus in addition win 0.75 m between the dragster and the parachute; we have: (0.75 + 0.35) m = 1.1 m

Balancing the equilibrium about point A;

F(1.1) - mg (1.25) = ma_a (0.35)

1.8v^2(1.1) - 1200(9.8)(1.25) = 1200a(0.35)

1.8v^2(1.1) - 14700 = 420 a   ------- equation (1)

F_x = ma_x \\ \\ = 1.8v^2 = 1200 \ a             --------- equation (2)

Replacing equation 2 into equation 1 ; we have :

{1.1 * 1200 \ a} - 14700 = 420 a

1320 a - 14700 = 420 a

1320 a -  420 a =14700

900 a = 14700

a = 14700/900

a = 16.33 m/s²

The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is  16.33 m/s²

larisa [96]
Before you step on the brakes, the car has kinetic energy, when you step on the brakes, it turns the kinetic energy into heat (thermal energy). When it stops completely, it has potential energy. Hope this helped :)
