Q1) A track with four wheels, each of (800 mm) diameter, travels on rails round curve of (100 m) radius, the total mass of the track is ( 4.5 tones) and its center of gravity is midway between the axle (1.4 m) above the rails and the centre distance between the two wheels on an axle is (1.5 m). Each axle is driven by a motor with speed ratio between the two being 1: 4. Each motor with its gear has a moment of inertia of (14 kg-m ) and runs in a direction opposite to that of its axle. The moment of inertia of each pair of wheel is (25 kg.-m). Determine the limiting speed for this car. Consider the centrifugal and gyroscopic effects completely to maintain contact with the road surface.
