What are the laws that apply to one vehicle towing another?

1 answer:

5 0

The drawbar or other connections must be strong enough to pull all the weight of the vehicle being towed. The drawbar or other connection may not exceed 15 feet from one vehicle to the other.

A 150-lbm astronaut took his bathroom scale (aspring scale) and a beam scale (compares masses) to themoon where the local gravit

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

a) W = 25.5 lbf

b) W = 150 lbf

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of astronaut = 150 lbm

local gravity = 5.48 ft/s^2

a) weight on spring scale

it can be calculated by measuring force against local gravitational force which is equal to weight of body

W = mg

$W = (150 \times 5.48)\times \frac{1 lbm}{32.32 lbm. ft/s^2} = 25.5 lbf$

b) As we know that beam scale calculated mass only therefore no change in mass due to variation in gravity

thus W= 150 lbf

Air is contained in a vertical piston–cylinder assembly such that the piston is in static equilibrium. The atmosphere exerts a p

oee [108]

Answer:

a) 24 kg

b) 32 kg

Explanation:

The gauge pressure is of the gas is equal to the weight of the piston divided by its area:

p = P / A

p = m * g / (π/4 * d^2)

Rearranging

p * (π/4 * d^2) = m * g

m = p * (π/4 * d^2) / g

m = 1200 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 24 kg

After the weight is added the gauge pressure is 2.8kPa

The mass of piston plus addded weight is

m2 = 2800 * (π/4 * 0.5^2) / 9.81 = 56 kg

56 - 24 = 32 kg

The mass of the added weight is 32 kg.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

V1=5ft3

V2=2ft3

n=1.377

Explanation:

PART A:

the volume of each state is obtained by multiplying the mass by the specific volume in each state

V=volume

v=especific volume

m=mass

V=mv

state 1

V1=m.v1

V1=4lb*1.25ft3/lb=5ft3

state 2

V2=m.v2

V2=4lb*0.5ft3/lb= 2ft3

PART B:

since the PV ^ n is constant we can equal the equations of state 1 and state 2

P1V1^n=P2V2^n

P1/P2=(V2/V1)^n

ln(P1/P2)=n . ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(P1/P2)/ ln (V2/V1)

n=ln(15/53)/ ln (2/5)

n=1.377
