1 / 10

A vehicle with the mass 190kg, wheelbase 1,56m and tyre static radius 222mm is weighed. Scales measure 83kg (front) and 107kg (rear) when the car measured on the perfectly flat ground and the same values when the front axle is elevated by 0,85m. What is the car’s COG height? Give answer to the nearest whole number in mm

2 / 10

Unit: kg/(m^3), to decimal number seperated by: . (exp. 15.3), write only the number in the field below

3 / 10

A spring in a church clock has a spring constant of 10 N/m. What is its elastic potential energy store if it is stretched 8 m? Give answer in Joules to three significant figures.

4 / 10

A cat of mass 12 kgs ran at 65mph. What is its kinetic energy? Answer in J to the nearest whole number

5 / 10

A spring in a car’s suspension has elastic potential energy store 226 J. If the spring constant is 8.1N/mm, find the extension. Give answer in meters to three significant figures.

6 / 10

An air stream

dot{M}_L = 5.5 kg/s,

cp_L=1 kJ/(kgK)

is to be heated in a plate heat exchanger from

θ_L′=20∘C

θ_L′′=150∘C

. For this purpose, a flue gas stream

dot{M}_R = 7.22

cp_R=1.1 kJ/(kgK)

with a temperature of

θ_R′=300∘C

is available. The overall heat transfer coefficient is

W/(m^2*K)

.
What is the required heating surface AAA if the fluid streams are arranged in counterflow?

a. 328,1 m^2

b. 281,7 m^2

c. 314,12 m^2

7 / 10

A helicopter of mass 4200 kg is carrying a crate using a light extensible rope. The crate has a total mass of 800 kg, including its contents. The helicopter and crate are accelerating upwards at 2.0 ms^-2. What is the tension in the rope? Use gravititational field strength g is 9,81 N/kg. Air resistance can be ignored. Give answer to nearest whole number in Newtons

8 / 10

Calculate the Normal force on the rear left tyre during the first skidpad lap. You can assume, that your vehicle is in a steady-state condition and that there is no longitudinal acceleration. Further it can be assumed, that all 4 wheels have a lateral grip coefficient of 1.4. You can use the centerline radius stated in the rules. Following information regarding the vehicle are given. Give answer to nearest whole number in Newtons.

m = 220 kg

Cl = 3.8

A = 1 m^2

Rho = 1.1 kg/m^3

Wheelbase: L = 1.53

Trackwidth:t = 1.2 m

Height of CG: h = 0.2 m

Weight distribution/COP: 50%

9 / 10

A team is in the process of validating the compliance of the shoulder harness bar used in their car. Choose the part in which their configuration is incompliant:

a. The steel tube has a thickness of 2 mm, and a 0.26% in carbon and 1.7% manganese content

b. The attachments are positioned 220 mm apart, measured center to center, and have a thickness of 1.7 mm

c. The bar is bent (not straight) and the team uses an analysis method of inducing 7kN to each attachment in the horizontal plane to prove compliance

d. From the driver’s shoulders rearwards to the mounting point or structural guide, the shoulder harness is 8° above the horizontal
