On a trolley weighing WT = (306.1725) N, a crate with Wc = (612.345) N is being transported along a smooth concrete floor. The width of the crate is mm and its height is mm b = (513.7166667) d = (1617.635714) The coefficients of friction between the crate and the trolley are us= (0.270575) and uk = (0.2137166667). If a force P = (402.469) N is applied at the handle of the trolley, determine whether the crate will SLIP or TIP first.

An air-conditioning unit is fastened to a roof that slopes at an angle of 35 above the horizontal . Its weight is a force F S on the air conditioner that is directed vertically downward. In order that the unit not crush the roof tiles, the component of the unit’s weight perpendicular to the roof cannot exceed 425 N. (One newton, or 1 N, is the SI unit of force. It is equal to 0.2248 lb.) (a) What is the maximum allowed weight of the unit? (b) If the fasteners fail, the unit slides 1.50 m along the roof before it comes to a halt against a ledge. How much work does the weight force do on the unit during its slide if the unit has the weight calculated in part (a)? The work done by a force F S on an object that undergoes a displacement sS is W = F S . sS.

Formula One or F1 racing cars are developed according to strict guidelines from Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile or FIA. All competing teams must adhere to the similar dimension and sizing of its racing cars. Let say you are tasked in your FYP project to design a new F1 car prototype which must be of 4067 cm long, 1800 cm wide, and 95 cm high. The F1 car's top speed is about 380 km/h. Assume that the kinematic viscosity of the ambient air is 1.5 x 10-5 m²/s. a) Determine the appropriate Re number of the given prototype car. What is the percentage difference compare to the Re number for a generic vehicle study (Ahmed body)?
