Describe the information found in a VIN.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

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.

The sketch below gives some details of the human heart at rest. What is the total power requirement (work/time) for an artificial heart pump if we use a safety factor of 5 to allow for inefficiencies, the need to operate the heart under stress, etc.? Assume blood has the properties of water. p pressure above atmosphere blood going to the lungs for a fresh charge of oxygen p = 2.9 kPa 25v pulmonary artery d = 25mm fresh oxygenated blood from the lungs p = 1.0 kPa vena cava d=30mm right auricle pulmonary vein, d = 28mm aorta, d=20mm spent blood returning from left auricle the body p = 0.66 kPa right left ventricle ventricle blood to feed the body, p 13 kPa normal blood flow = 90 ml/s
4- A horizontal Venturi meter is used to measure the flow rate of water through the piping system of 20 cm I.D, where the diameter of throat in the meter is d₂ = 10 cm. The pressure at inlet is 17.658 N/cm2 gauge and the vacuum pressure of 35 cm Hg at throat. Find the discharge of water. Take Cd = 0.98.
