A rear-wheel drive vehicle is traveling at 57 mi/hr on a level surface with a coefficient of adhesion of 0.79. The car has a 14 in wheel radius and a wheel base of 120 in. It has a center of gravity 23 in above the roadway surface and 40 in behind the front axle. Assume that C₂-0.3, A- 20 ft², W= 2,345 lbs and a = 0.002 slugs/ft³. If the car produces an engine generated tractive effort of 609 lb, what is the acceleration of the car in ft/sec² (assume ym is 1)?

An older Rolls Royce Ghost is traveling at 25 mph on a roadway with good, dry pavement.The car has a C D = 0.32, 35 ft 2 of frontal area, and weighs 5,445 lb. The wheelbase is 129.7 inand the center of gravity is 25 in above the pavement and 60 in behind the front axle. Thevehicle is traveling on pavement at sea level. The engine produces a hefty 620 ft-lb of torqueand is in a gear of the transmission that provides a gear reduction of 5 to 1 with a 22 in wheelradius and 95% drivetrain mechanical efficiency. If the limo driver needs to accelerate hard inthe Ghost to avoid an accident, what would the acceleration be since it is a rear-wheel drive car?

A shaft with 3 meters span between two bearings carries two masses of 10 kg and 20 kg acting at the extremities of the arms 0.45 m and 0.6 m long respectively. The planes in which these masses rotate are 1.2 m and 2.4 m respectively from the left end bearing supporting the shaft. The angle between the arms is 60°. The speed of rotation of the shaft is 200 r.p.m. If the masses are balanced by two counter-masses rotating with the shaft acting at radii of 0.3 m and placed at 0.3 m from each bearing centers, estimate the magnitude of the two balance masses and their orientation with respect to the X-axis, i.e. mass of 10 kg ‎‏Note: It must be solved using the graphic method, not the equations method.
