Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 38P
An enthusiast magazine publishes data from its road tests on the lateral acceleration capability of cars. The measurements are made using a 150-ft-diameter skid pad. Assume the vehicle path deviates from the circle by ±2 ft and that the vehicle speed is read from a fifth-wheel speed-measuring system to ±0.5 mph. Estimate the experimental uncertainty in a reported lateral acceleration of 0.7 g. How would you improve the experimental procedure to reduce the uncertainty?

Note: The tolerance is ±1 in the third significant digit.arrow_forwardAn experiment is performed to compare the rotational speed of two conveyers, Conveyer X and Conveyer Y. 30 belts are loaded with an optimal weight, each is put on one of the conveyers, and the speed of the conveyer is measured. Criticize the following aspects of the experiment. (a) To accelerate the testing procedure, high- performance motors are used and movement is measured in 30-second intervals. (b) The entire experiment is performed with loads of elongated objects. (c) The speeds of all observations of Conveyer X are taken first. (d) 10 of the belts are put on Conveyer X and 20 on Conveyer Y.arrow_forwardDynamics of Rigid Bodies Please help ASAP. Rate will be given accordingly. Please write your answer on paper.

- Data has been gathered from a lifting system used to transport engine parts. The system consists of a drum and cable. The following data was obtained when the drum lowers the load (assume constant acceleration). Drum diameter = 0.8m Mass of load = 3kg Initial velocitv = 0 m/s Time to descend = A secs 2. ( Distance travelled = 0.25m You have been asked to use this information to determine with 4 s.f. accuracy: Drum Cable a) The final linear velocity of the load b) The linear acceleration of the load Load c) The final angular velocity of the drum d) The angular acceleration of the drum e) The tension force in the cable f) The torque applied to the drum In determining the above quantities, you should clearly state the formulae used and apply dimensional analysis techniques to show that all values/units used are homogeneous.arrow_forwardDynamics of Rigid Bodies Please help ASAP.
