7.1.11 FIND: Maximum road inclination without ipping over and power generated by the drive force.

GIVEN: Car geometry, weight 3000 lb, constant speed 60 mph. DIAGRAMS:

PROBLEM TYPE: Force and moment balance, power. RELEVANT EQUATIONS: F = maG , SOLUTION PROCESS: 1. Draw a FBD = IRD for the car, and use Eqs. (1)1 and (1)2 to balance forces and moments about the mass center G. Since the car is traveling at a constant speed and is not rotating, aG = 0 and = 0. 2. When the car just begins to tip, its front tires lose contact with the road, so N2 0. Use this fact and your force and moment balances to determine the road inclination . 3. From the b 1 component of your force balance, determine the corresponding drive force S, and the use Eq. (1)3 to calculate the associated power. MG = IG , P =F v (1)

7.1.14 FIND: How the normal forces at the tires for the Batmobile change as compared to a standard car. GIVEN: Batmobile geometry, jet engine thrust T , neglect the ground/tire forces in the direction. DIAGRAMS:

PROBLEM TYPE: Force and moment balance. RELEVANT EQUATIONS: F = maG , SOLUTION PROCESS: 1. Draw a FBD = IRD for the Batmobile, and use Eqs. (1)1 and (1)2 to balance forces and moments about the mass center G. Since the Batmobile is not rotating, = 0. Use your force and moment balances to determine the normal forces N1 and N2 in terms of the acceleration x. 2. You should nd that N1 at the rear tire actually decreases as the Batmobile accelerates, while N2 at the front tire increases. This is the opposite of what happens for a standard car - the normal force at the rear tire increases with acceleration, while the normal force at the front tire decreases. MG = IG (1)

For each part, use the formulas in Appendix B to determine the moment of inertia IG (for in-plane rotation) about the mass center, and then use the parallel axis theorem (1) to determine IO . 3. Add the two values for IO to determine the total moment of inertia about O. IO = IG + mr2 (1)

7.2.48 FIND: Initial angular acceleration and reaction force at pivot A. GIVEN: Triangle mass 2 kg, base length 0.5 m, height 0.8 m, initially at rest, mass center G b is 3 down from the top, moment of inertia IG = 0.0989 kg m2 . DIAGRAMS:

PROBLEM TYPE: Fixed point rotation, force and moment balance. RELEVANT EQUATIONS: F = maG , SOLUTION PROCESS: 1. Draw a FBD = IRD for the plate, and use Eqs. (1)1 and (1)2 with a polar coordinate frame to balance forces and moments about the xed pivot A to eliminate the reaction forces Ar and A . Since the plate is initially at rest, it has no initial angular velocity: = 0. 2. Solve for the initial acceleration from your moment balance, where you will need to use the parallel axis theorem (1)3 to determine the rotational inertia IA . 3. Solve for the reaction forces Ar and A from your force balance, and then use them to calculate the magnitude of the reaction force at A. MA = IA , IA = IG + mr2 (1)

ASSUME: The massless brake lever has negligible thickness. DIAGRAMS:

PROBLEM TYPE: Fixed point rotation, moment balance, kinematics. RELEVANT EQUATIONS: MG = IG , SOLUTION PROCESS: 1. Draw a FBD = IRD for the lever, and use Eq. (1)1 to balance moments about the levers xed pivot O. Since the lever is massless and held in the illustrated position, IG = 0. Also, because the lever is very thin, the moment due to the friction force Ff acting on the brake pad is negligible. From your moment balance, solve for the normal force N . 2. Draw a FBD = IRD for the disk, and use Eq. (1)1 to balance moments about the disks xed pivot G. Solve for the disks (constant) angular acceleration in terms of the distance d. 3. Use Eq.
