A 12.52 kN car has a 2.75 m wheelbase, with its center of gravity located 60 cm from the pavement and 115.0 cm behind the front axle. 4 people weighing on average 75 kg loaded the vehicle, shifting the center of gravity 12.0 cm nearer to the rear axle. What is the maximum tractive effort (N) that can be developed if the car is a front wheel drive? Use coefficient of road adhesion = 0.55 .
Determine the horsepower produced by a passenger car traveling at a speed of 65 mi/h on a straight road of 5% grade with a smooth pavement. Assume the weight of the car is 4000 lb and the cross-sectional area of the car is 40 f t 2.
5) A car is traveling along a straight road with an acceleration of a = 1/4 * s ^ (1/4) (m/s^ 2 ) Determine the velocity when the car travels 2 (m).
