Q1.B/ what are differences between speed and velocity?
What is the maximum speed in (m/s) a truck can have if its acceleration cannot exceed 7.5 m/s while driving
on a path having a radius of curvature of 200 m?
If an engine that throws 200 kW of heat energy into the atmosphere produces 150 horsepower (hp), what is the efficiency of this engine?
TIP: Horsepower is not included in the international unit system, you must convert it to kW.

A couple-moment and a force are applied at points B and C, respectively. In Cartesian coordinates, the applied couple-moment is MB = -150 k N-m, and the applied force is Fc = + 200ĵ Newtons. You may neglect the weight of the pipe assembly. 1. Draw a FBD which is suitable for solution of this problem, when seeking the unknown force and moment reactions at the fixed support, Point A. You may use the existing drawing given below. Your FBD must clearly/correctly show the force and moment reaction vectors. Use double arrowheads to distinguish moment vectors from force vectors. 2. Calculate F°MA, which is the moment generated at A due to the force applied at Point C. 3. Write the equations of equilibrium and solve to find the reactions at Point A. Specifically, find the force-reaction vector, A and the moment-reaction vector, *MA-arrow_forwardm1 = kg/s m2 = kg/s m3 = kg/sarrow_forward
