    14. A motor car weighs 17795 N including the four road wheels each
    of which has an effective diameter of 0.66 m, a radius of gyration
    of 0.28 m and a weight of 294 N has an engine developing 66 kw
    at 2400 rpm. The parts which rotate at engine speed weigh 1069
    N, with a radius of gyration of 0.115 m. The transmission
    efficiency is 90% and the total road and air resistance at this
    engine speed in top gear of 3.84:1 is 873 N on level. Calculate
    the acceleration in m/s2, under those conditions and assuming the
    acceleration to be uniform the time required to increase the speed
    by 32 km/h.
    15. Explain the air resistance, rolling resistance and gradient
    resistance.
    (or)
    16. Calculate and plot the curve for the torque and mechanical
    efficiency of a vehicle motion at different speed.

    18. By using relevant drawing explain the procedure to find the
    velocity, Acceleration and inertia forces.

    19. A motor vehicle weighs 7975.5 N and its engine develops 14.7
    kw at 2500 rpm. At this engine speeds the road speed of the car
    on the top gear is 64.37 km/h. Bottom gear reduction is 3.5:1 and
    the efficiency of transmission is 88% on top 80% on bottom gear.
    The diameters of tyres is 0.762 m and the projected frontal area
    of the vehicle is 1.116 m2. The coefficient of air resistance is
    0.0314 N - h2/km2-m2. R=KAV2, where R is resistance in N, K is
    the coefficient resistance. Calculate: (a) Speed of car on bottom
    gear (b) Tractive effort available at the wheels on top and bottom
    gear (c) Gradient which car can climb on bottom gear.
    (or)
    20. Determine the gear ratios of a four speed gear box for a vehicle
    of weight 13341.6 N. powered by an engine giving 20.6 kw
    at 1800 rpm. The vehicle has frontal area of 2.23 m 2 and has a
    wheel dia 0.71 m. The maximum Gradient that the car has to
    negotiate is 1 in 4.The tractive resistance may be taken as 50 N
    per 2240 N of the car. The wind resistance is given by
    0.03679AV2. Assume that transmission efficiency is 0.75% and
    that at top gear, the car is expected to go over a grade of 1in 40.
    State any other assumptions you make.
