Textbook Question
Chapter 38, Problem 1SA
What determines whether a conventional transmission or a transaxle is used?
Expert Solution & Answer

To determine
Whether a conventional transmission or transaxle is used in a vehicle.
Answer to Problem 1SA
The type of drive system helps to determine either a transmission or transaxle is used.
Explanation of Solution
In a vehicle, the type of drive system helps in determining whether it is a conventional transmission or a transaxle. Both the transmission housing and transaxle uses a set of meshed gears of varying sizes to provide the engine various output torque and speed needed to drive the wheels. The vehicles that have rear wheel drive mainly use a conventional transmission and the vehicles with front-wheel drive use a transaxle.

12: A steel cantilever beam 16 ft 8 in in length is subjected to a concentrated load of 320 lb acting at the freeend of the bar. A commercially available rolled steel section, designated as W12x32, is used for the beam. Assume that the total depth of the beam is 12 in, and the neutral axis of the section is in the middle. Determine the maximum tensile and compressive stresses. (Properties of commercially available rolled steel section provided in the table. Z = section modulus). ANS: σT = σC = 1,572.482 lb/in2

14: Two ½-in x 8-in cover plates are welded to two channels 10 in high to formthe cross section of the beam shown in Fig. 8-59. Loads are in a vertical plane and bendingtakes place about a horizontal axis. The moment of inertia of each channel about ahorizontal axis through the centroid is 78.5 in4. If the maximum allowable elastic bendingstress is 18,000 lb/in2, determine the maximum bending moment that may be developedin the beam.ANS: 1,236,000 lb-in.
