To determine

Functions and design requirements for hood latch for an automobile.

Explanation of Solution

Functions for hood latch for an automobile are:

  • Hood latch is the type of mechanical component that keeps the hood closed shut.
  • The latch keeps the hood connected to the automobile.
  • It prevents the accidental opening.

Design requirements for hood latch for an automobile are:

  • Spring must have enough stiffness to hold the hood.
  • Hood latch must be able to work minimum 8 hr per day.
  • Applied force to the hood latch should not be too large.
  • Mechanical efficiency must be greater than 95%.
  • Cost must be moderate.
  • Less wear producing material is selected.
  • All government and industry safety standards must be met.

Item 1 used to intermittently operate a piece of equipment at the end of a lifter arm. The lifter is in contact with the highest point of the cam at the instant shown and the lifter is constrained to move only in the vertical direction. The cam has a radius of r = 4.5 in and is rotating about point O, which is offset from the center by a distance c = 3.0 in. The cam's angular position is measured from the positive x axis and is positive clockwise. The angular velocity and acceleration are positive clockwise.

Part 2 Set up a spreadsheet solution to this problem. This will require that you derive one formula to express the relationship between the friction coefficient, the spring constant, and the spring compression; and a second formula to find the cost of using different slide and spring types. Set up your spreadsheet as shown below. You can fill in the "Acceptable?" column manually, rather than using a formula. Turn in a copy of your spreadsheet/Matlab work (solve for $) Friction Spring Constant Spring Compression M k 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.2 0.2 0.2 50 100 150 50 100 150 4 Part 3 Your boss has decided to look at a second option. The spring mechanism will be replaced by a drop box. After leaving the slide, the blocks will travel 5 horizontal feet through the air and pass through a hole into the drop box. Using the slide you selected above, determine how far below the slide (h) to place the hole in the drop box. Yo = 5.2017/5 BLADE 2 RAMPE SLIDE 8⁰ SLIDE Acceptable? (Yes or No) $' Cost 51 In DROP…
