Problem 8.85
Moving on a straight and horizontal stretch of road, the rear-wheel-
drive car shown can go from rest to
60 mph
in
tD8
s. The
car weighs
2570 lb
(the weight includes the wheels). Each wheel
has diameter dD24:3 in:, mass moment of inertia relative to its
own center of mass
IGD0:989 slugft2
, and the center of mass
of each wheel coincides with its geometric center. Determine
the average friction force
Favg
acting on the car during
t
. In
addition, if the wheels roll without slip, for each wheel, determine
the average moment
Mavg
, computed relative to the wheel’s center,
that is applied to the wheel during t.
Solution
Average force acting on the car.
