The driver of a speeding empty truck slams on the brakes and skids to a stop through a distance d. a. If the initial speed of the truck were tripled, what would be its skidding distance?
b. If the truck carried a load that doubled its mass, what would be the truck's skidding distance?

Afour cylinder four-stroke in-line engine has a stroke of 160mm, connecting rod length of 150mm, a reciprocating mass of 3kg and its firing order is 1-3-4-2. the spacing between cylinders is 100mm. i. show that the engine is in balance with regard to the primary inertia forces and primary 3. a and secondary inertia couples. li determine the out of balance secondary inertia force ii. propose ways of balancing this out of balance force and discuss the challenges that will arise

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.

An electric motor is used to drive a power press which makes steel turning moment diagrams 323 pressings from a metal sheet. the motor runs at a mean speed of 50 rev/s. the torque required is 10.0nm for 0.2s, followed by 1.0nm for0.3 s with this sequence then being repeated. what is the minimum power required of the motor and the moment of incrtia required for the t1ywhcel if the speed fluctuations are to be restricted to 1.5%?
