A 11.32 kN car has a 3700 mm wheelbase, with its center of gravity located 550 mm from the pavement and 1150 mm behind the front axle. 3 people weighing on average 75 kg loaded the vehicle, shifting the center of gravity 105 mm nearer to the rear axle. What is the maximum tractive effort (N) that can be developed if the car is a rear wheel drive? Use coefficient of road adhesion= 0.56.

Determine the volume of borrow and its overhaul volume. b. Determine the length of overhaul if the cost of hauling is 00
In a road construction, the lenght of economic haul was determine to be at station 100+111 whose area is17.01 square meters and station 100+428 whose area is 23.99 square meters. If the lenght of the free haul distance is 50m, determine the volume of the overhaul in cubic meters. Please take note that the distance from the balance station to both of the two stations are equal. Numerical answer only no units necessary.

Two identical billiard balls may move freely on a horizontal table. Ball A has a velocity of 0.4 m/s as shown, and hits ball B, which is at rest, at point C defined by  = 40 (the line of impact is along 40° path with respect to the horizontal direction). Assuming no friction, and knowing the coefficient of restitution between the two balls is 0.75, determine the velocity of each ball after impact
A wheel-type tractor, operating in its second gear range and at its full rated rpm, is observed to maintain a steady speed of 1.5 mph when operating under the conditions described herein. Ambient air temperature is 60°F, altitude is sea level. The tractor is climbing a uniform 6.5% slope with a rolling resistance of 65 lb/ton, and it is towing a pneumatic-tired trailer loaded with fill material. The two-axle tractor has a total weight of 60,000 lb, 55% of which is distributed ton the power axle. The loaded trailer has a weight of 75,000 lb. a. For the environmental conditions just described, a manufacturer rates the tractive effort of the new tractor at 60 rimpull horsepower. What percentage of this rated rimpull does the tractor actually develop? The “20 lb of rimpull required ton of weight per % of slope” approximation will be acceptable. Assume traction is not a limiting factor. b. What is the value of the coefficient of traction if the drive wheels of the tractor are at the point…
