Explanation of Solution

The use of electronics in the design of modern vehicles is a rapid ongoing process. It has enabled safer and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Electric and hybrid vehicles could not have been developed and produced without the use of extensive electronic features. Over the time, the growth of electronics has accelerated and this trend is expected to continue as the automotive industries develops and continue to further progress vast in the modern automotive world.

Electronics is the function through which much of safety, security, convenience, comfort and efficient functions are provided in the modern vehicle technology. It has also influenced the design and types of the vehicles which make the vehicle to get better gas mileage as well as being environment friendly too.

The modern existing features like automatic emergency brakes, auto locking, and lightning makes the interiors of the vehicle more appealing as well as comfortable for the user. Without the electronics it could not be possible to meet the ultimate need of the vehicle.

Explain why on the interval 0<x<1000 mm and 1000<x<2000mm, Mt is equal to positive 160 Nm, but at x= 0mm and x=1000mm Mt is equal to -160 Nm (negative value!). What is the reason for the sign change of Mt?
20 3. 2-233 2520 Тр Gears 1079 A pair of helical gears consist of a 20 teeth pinion meshing with a 100 teeth gear. The pinion rotates at Ta 720 r.p.m. The normal pressure angle is 20° while the helix angle is 25°. The face width is 40 mm and the normal module is 4 mm. The pinion as well as gear are made of steel having ultimate strength of 600 MPa and heat treated to a surface hardness of 300 B.H.N. The service factor and factor of safety are 1.5 and 2 respectively. Assume that the velocity factor accounts for the dynamic load and calculate the power transmitting capacity of the gears.
