Describe the information found in a VIN.
The information found in a VIN.
Explanation of Solution
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is present on the lower side/corner of the driver side of the windshield. It tells us about the kind of vehicle we are working on. VIN contains a character code of seventeen digits. This code tells about the manufacturers, place of manufacture and resembles the model number. Nowadays, most vehicles contain a scan code which is present just below the VIN.
It tells about the plant where a vehicle has been manufactured and the body style.
For example, 1G1YY36U665112555.
Here, the first character tells about the country where it has been manufactured.
For 1 or 4 − USA
2 − Canada
3- Mexico
J − Japan
K − Korea
S − England
W − Germany
The second character tells about the manufacturer and the tenth character tells about the model year.

For each of them, calculate the position of the centroid of area with respect to the given coordinate system and report them in the table below. 2. For each of them, calculate the second moments of inertia I... and I, around their respective centroid of area and report them in the table below.

The canard and wing are made of the same airfoil section and have AR AR, S = 0.25, and = 0.45% 1. Develop an expression for the moment coefficient about the center of gravity in terms of the shown parameters (, and zg) and the three-dimensional aerodynamic characteristics of the used wing/canard (CL C and CM). 2. What is the range of the cg location for this configuration to be statically stable? You may simplify the problem by neglecting the upwash (downwash) effects between the lifting surfaces and the drag contribution to the moment. You may also assume small angle approximation.

You may want to assume CM, reasonable assumptions (e.g., -0.09, 0, -4°. i=0.0°, and i = -2.0°. Make any other 0.9).arrow_forward

Please note that this is a 3D problem and you will have moment (M) and shear (S) along two different axes. That means that you will have a total of 5 diagrams.arrow_forwardAn ideal gas with MW of 29 g/mol, cp = 1.044 kJ/kgK and c₁ = 0.745 kJ/kgK contained in a cylinder-piston assembly initially has a pressure of 175 kPa, a temperature of 22°C, and a volume of 0.30 m³. It is heated slowly at constant volume (process 1-2) until the pressure is doubled. It is then expanded slowly at constant pressure (process 2-3) until the volume is doubled. Draw a figure of the system and the PV diagram showing each state and the path each process takes. Determine the total work done by the system and total heat added (J) in the combined process.arrow_forwardplease explain each method used, thank youarrow_forward
