a) Please explain clearly the following situation: i) A car was designed with two conditions (1) sharp corners and (2) resemble an ellipse. Which car more likely to be more fuel efficient and why? ii) A bicyclist was tried to move faster by positioning his body into two different positions (1) keeps head and body in the most upright position and (2) leans down and brings body closer to the knees. Suggest the best position and why?

A wheel tractor has a 200HP engine.If the weight of the wheel tractor is 30 tons and the weight on the drivingwheels is 50% of this weight, and it is operating at an altitute of 1000m above sea level, at an average temperature of 25 degree celcius, and at an average speed of 12km/hr. What is the maximum available rimpull if thecoefficient of traction is 0.25?. Take rimpull efficiency as 85%
When rowing downstream consider the following scenario. The current of the water is moving at 2 m/s in the direction you are rowing. The coefficient of drag between your boat and the water is 1.2, the area in contact with the water is 0.1 m2 and the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. You are moving at a velocity of 4 m/s into a head wind of 4 m/s. Your coefficient of drag between you and the air is 1.4, the area in contact with the air is 0.4 m2 and the density of the air is 1.2 kg/m3. Your goal is to create a net force moving downstream that is equal to 100 N. How much force must you exert with the oar and in what direction to achieve this net force downstream?
Read the question carefully and give me right solution. A person weighing 160 lb is caught in a tsunami flood water 24 inches deep. Calculate the approximate water speed that would cause them to be ‘swept away’ by the tsunami. Assume that the flood imparts a drag force on each of their legs, and that each leg can be approximated by a smooth circular cylinder with a 6 inch diameter. The person resistance is equal to the normal force times a coefficient friction which can be assumed to be u = 0.5 for rubber sole on concrete. Neglect buoyancy forces.
If we give an initial speed of 5 m/s to a disc of wood sliding on an inclined plane whose inclination is 35° and that it crosses 8 m before coming to rest, what is the coefficient of friction? dynamic between disc and surface?

A windmill turns a series of slender rods fixed about one end . They are initially 2 meters long, and go at a speed of 15 revolutions per minute. I suggested making the blades 1m long to reduce the cross-sectional area of the windmill, keeping the mass the same for mechanical stress consistency. How fast are the windmill blades going now, in revolutions per minute?
How you find minimum drag and velocity from the equations
A common small boat for use in quiet streams and lakes has a flat bottom and is approximately rectangular in shape like the smaller ones in this photo. For fishing they would be about 5.4 m long, 1.3 meters across at the bottom, and have a hull mass of 215 kg (475 lb weight) if made of aluminum. Along a side they might have a depth of 0.6 meter (about two feet) from the upper edge to the bottom, though many small ones are not that deep. The density of water is 1 g/cm3, or 1000 kg/m3. How far into the water will this boat sink, unloaded, at equilibrium?
