Answer: 112 + 19.27

Explanation:

Super elevation is an inward transverse slope provided through out the length of the horizontal curve which ends up serving as a counteract to the centrifugal force and checks tendency of overturning. It changes from infinite radius to radius of a transition curve.

Super curve elevation (e) = 4%

4/100= 0.04

e= V^2/gR

Make R the subject of the formula.

egR= V^2

R= V^2/eg

V= 45mph

=45 × 0.44704m/s

=20.1168m/s

g (force due to gravity) =9.81

Therefore,

R= (20.1168)^2/9.81 × 0.04

= 1031.31m

Tangent Length( T) = PI - PC

Tangent Length= 10875 - 10500

=375m

T= R Tan(I/2)

375= 1031.31 × Tan(I/2)

I= 39.96

Also,

L= πRI/180

= 719.27m

Station PT= Stat PC+ L

10500 + 719.27

=11219.27

=112 + 19.27

The thrust angle is checked by referencing
anygoal [31]

In Engineering, the thrust angle is checked by referencing: C. vehicle centerline.

<h3>What is a thrust angle?</h3>

A thrust angle can be defined as an imaginary line which is drawn perpendicularly from the centerline of the rear axle of a vehicle, down the centerline.

This ultimately implies that, the thrust angle is a reference to the centerline (wheelbase) of a vehicle, and it confirms that the two wheels on both sides are properly angled within specification.

Suppose a large amount of power is required. Which engine would you choose between Otto and Diesel? Why?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Otto engine

Explanation:

As we know that

Power = Torque x speed

So we can say that when speed of engine then power of engine also will increases.

The speed of Otto engine is more as compare to Diesel engine so the power of Otto engine is more.But on the other hand torque of Diesel engine is more as compare to Otto engine but the speed is low so the product of speed and torque is more for Otto engine .It means that when requires large amount of power then Otto engine should be use.
