2.2 A 2.2-tonne racing car has a wheel base of 2.4 m and a track of 1.4 m. The centre of mass of the car lies at 0.6 m above the ground and 1.4 m from the rear axle. The equivalent mass of engine parts is 140 kg with a radius of gyration of 150 mm. The back axle ratio is 5. The engine shaft and flywheel rotate clockwise when viewed from the front. Each wheel has a diameter of 0.8 m and a moment of inertia of 0.7 kg.m². Determine the load distribution on the wheels when the car is rounding a curve of 100 m radius at a speed of 72 km/h to the (i) left, and (ii) right.

Q3/ A shaft has three eccentric of mass 1 kg each. The central plane of the eccentrics is 50 mm apart. The distances of the centers from the axis of rotation are 20, 30 and 20 mm and their angular positions are 120 apart. If the shaft is balanced by adding two niasses at a radius of 70 mm and at a distance 100 mm from the central plane of the middle eccentric, find the amount of the masses and their angular positions.

The figure shows composite shape comprising of two long slender rod bodies. The horizontal body has a length of 1.2m and mass 3kg; the second body has a length 0.4m and mass 1kg. The centre of gravity of each of the individual bodies can be found at their geometric centre, labelled G₁ and G2₂ in the figure. The composite shape has symmetry about the x axis, thus its centre of gravity lies on the line 'y=0' as depicted in the figure. Calculate the x coordinate of the centre of gravity of the composite shape. O O 0.95 m 0.75 m 0.50 m Don't Know 0.60 m G₁ G₂
A mass m₁ = 2.0 kg is suspended over a pulley of moment of inertia, I₁ = 0.010 kg-m², and a radius, R₁ = 0.10 m, and is attached with a massless rope to a mass on a horizontal table, m₁ = 2.0 kg. This mass is itself attached to another suspended mass m₂ = 4.0 kg again with a massless rope over a pulley of moment of inertia, I₂ = 0.040 kg-m², and a radius, R₂ = 0.20 m. (a) Find the velocity of each mass when my falls a distance of 1.00 m (the masses start at rest). (b) There is now friction on the horizontal table, µ = 0.74. Again find the velocity of each mass when my falls a distance of 1.00 m (the masses still start at rest).
