Answer:
12164.4 Nm
Explanation:
CHECK THE ATTACHMENT
Given values are;
m1= 470 kg
x= 4m
m2= 75kg
Cm = center of mass
g= acceleration due to gravity= 9.82 m/s^2
The distance of centre of mass is x/2
Center of mass(1) = x/2
But x= 4 m
Then substitute, we have,
Center of mass(1) = 4/2 = 2m
We can find the total torque, through the summation of moments that comes from both the man and the beam.
τ = τ(1) + τ(2)
But
τ(1)= ( Center of m1 × m1 × g)= (2× 470× 9.81)
= 9221.4Nm
τ(2)= X * m2 * g = ( 4× 75 × 9.81)= 2943Nm
τ = τ(1) + τ(2)
= 9221.4Nm + 2943Nm
= 12164.4 Nm
Hence, the magnitude of the torque about the point where the beam is bolted into place is 12164.4 Nm
Answer:
The car manufacturers could increase bore of the cylinders, place the engine in the center or back of the car, add 1 to 2 turbochargers, and lower the center of gravity of the vehicle to increase traction.
Explanation:
Turbochargers would be recommended because they significantly increase both the torque of the engine as well as the amount of horses powering the car while also increasing original efficiency both with and without the additional power. Weight adjustment allows for lightweight vehicles with good traction. This is important to both keep control of the car under acceleration, but it also makes the vehicle more efficient due to the now sheddable unnecessary weight. A more obvious approach would be to increase the base horsepower and torque of the engine by increasing the bore of the cylinders and the weight of the pistons. This acts as an inertial lever, because the extra piston weight will drag the crankshaft faster. This could also be achieved by taking away piston weight, but this could be catastrophic should a piston slip.
