A driver is holding a steering wheel in the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions. The center of the steering wheel is connected to a steering column. If the diameter of the steering wheel is 330 mm, and the driver exerted a 5 N force in each hand causing the steering wheel to turn counterclockwise, calculate the moment caused by the steering wheel.

Q2:- During forward stroke of the piston of the double acting steam engine, the turning moment has the maximum value of 200 N.m when the crank makes an angle of 80° with the inner dead center. During the backward stroke, the maximum turning moment is 150 N.m when the crank makes 80° with the outer dead center. The turning moment diagram for the engine may be assumed for simplicity to be represented by two triangles. If the crank rotates 100 rpm and the radius of gyration of the flywheel is 1.75 m, find the coefficient of fluctuation of energy and the weight of the flywheel to keep the speed within + 0.75% of the mean speed.
