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.

Correct answers are written below. Detailed and correct solution only with fbd. I will upvote. 1: A 3 m alloy shaft fixed at one end has a torsional shearing stress capacity of 55 MPa. Due to improper fabrication, its cross-sectionalarea has become irregularly shaped. Its effective polar moment of inertia has become 2 x10-7 m4, and the maximum torque stress acts at 7.5 cm fromthe center of the shaft.[1]: If the shaft is to be replaced by a properly manufactured solid circular shaft that has a maximumshearing stress capacity of 70 MN/m2, what is the minimum diameter required so it can withstand the sameload? [2]: Calculate the thickness of a hollow circular shaft with the same outside diameter calculated initem [1] that can carry the same load. Limit the maximum shearing stress of the hollow circular shaft to0.09 GPa.Determine the angle of twist on the free end of the shaft. Use G = 150 x103 GPa. [3]: Use the solidcircular shaft from [1] and use the hollow circular shaft from [2].…
