Why safety stands must be used after lifting a vehicle with a floor jack?

Explanation of Solution

Floor jack is a device used to lift a vehicle or a vehicle component but is not designed for the purpose of holding the load. If the load is retained, the hydraulic fluid in the jack may leak past the seals and lower the component with the possibility of causing a personal injury.

Therefore, safety stands also called jack stands must be used to support the vehicle after lifting the vehicle with the floor jack.

Problem 1 8 in. in. PROBLEM 15.109 Knowing that at the instant shown crank BC has a constant angular velocity of 45 rpm clockwise, determine the acceleration (a) of Point A, (b) of Point D. 8 in. Answer: convert rpm to rad/sec first. (a). -51.2j in/s²; (b). 176.6 i + 50.8 j in/s²
Problem 4 The semicircular disk has a radius of 0.4 m. At one instant, when 0-60°, it is rotating counterclockwise at 0-4 rad/s, which is increasing in the same direction at 1 rad/s². Find the velocity and acceleration of point B at this instant. (Suggestion: Set up relative velocity and relative acceleration that way you would for a no-slip disk; remember what I told you to memorize on the first day of class.) (Answer: B = −2.98î - 0.8ĵ m/s, ãB = 2.45î - 5.74ĵ m/s²) B 0.4 m y X
