The cg is 1.27 m Behind the front axle and 0.76m above the ground. Maximum braking on all four wheels on level ground will bring the vehicle uniformly to rest from a speed of 64 km/hour in a distance of 25.9 m. Calculate the value of the adhesion between the tyre and the road. b.         Under the same road conditions the vehicle descends a hill of gradient 1 in 20 and is braked on front wheels only. Determine the load distribution between front and rear wheels and the distance required to bring the car to rest.                                           15   SECTION-C Qno: 8 a.         What are the advantages of hallow shaft?                                                                  05 b.                  A car with wheel base 2.75m with a cg of 0.85m above the ground and 1.15m behind the front axle has a coefficient of adhesion 0.6 between the tyre and the ground. Calculate the maximum  possible acceleration when vehicle is 1.                  Driven on front wheels. 2.                  Driven on rear wheels. 3.                  Driven on all wheels.                                                                                      10   Qno: 9.a.         Explain traction and tractive effort                                                                            05 b.                  An automobile engine develops 28 KW at 1500rpm and its bottom gear ratio is 3.06. If a propeller shaft of 40mm out side diameter is to be used, determine the Inside diameter of mild steel tube to be used, assuming a safe shear stress of 55X103 KPascal.                                                                                                         10   Qno: 10.          A motor car weighs 17795 N including the four road wheels each of which has an Effective dia of 0.66m, a radius of gyration of 0.28m and a weight of 294N has an engine developing 66 kW at 2400 rpm. The parts which rotate at engine speed weigh 1069N, with a radius of gyration of 0.115m.
