has the license F1771K. Phizzik! :biggrin:

I need to compute the energy to get a truck and trailer from 0 to 60 mph from rest taking into account the mass of truck and trailer and inertia of wheels and rims. Do I treat the rims and tires as a cylindrical shell or solid cylinder? Once I find the energy of the tires and rims do I just...

I am building a custom trailer, that will have "cages" ranging in size from 20" tall by 40" wide by 6' long to 39" tall, 40" wide, 8' long. And stacked up to 6 high and 2 wide. Now with my questions. I want to be able to open or unfold the cages kinda like a fishing tackle box out sideways of...

I think I basically get the gist of this problem, but I want to know wjether i did everything correctly. So... 1. A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +18.5 m/s in a time of 25 s. The combined mass of the boat and trailer is 562...

Homework Statement A car is hauling an 88 kg trailer, to which it is connected by a spring. The spring constant is 2350 N/m. The car accelerates with an acceleration of 0.29 m/s^2. By how much does the spring stretch? Homework Equations Fx -kx The Attempt at a Solution Fx -kx...

hey guys, i could as easily post this in an automotive type forum but I'm not a member of any! no specific car knowledge nescessary! Here is the problem Where I'm working now, there are two jeeps and one Car type trailer jeep 1 operates all the lights on the trailer successfully jeep 2...

If I have the following 2 vehicles: Vehicle 1: Weighs 2000 pounds Vehicle 2: Weighs 1000 pounds with a 1000 pound trailer Which requires more engine power to move? Does the weight distrubution on the additonal axles of the trailer decrease the required force needed to move the vehicle...

Homework Statement Hello. I am trying to lift a trailer with a car jack. The trailer weighs about 2,000 lbs. The trailer has a "trailer jack" unit which is attached to the trailer. Now, I believe we have two forces so far: 1) The force of the weight of the trailer pushing down on the...

towing a travel trailer... hello everyone, i belong to several classic trailer sites and there is an issue concerning towing a trailer without brakes. can someone tell me how to determine the force generated, say in pounds per square inch, of a trailer weighing 1400lbs, moving at 65 miles...

Hello, I'm poised to ask a question which is probably easy to answer. For my college project, I have to research and design a trailer mover which can pull a weight of upto 3000kgs. However I have been looking into a DC motor that can accommodate a peak torque of 250Nm. This has lead to...

Hi. This question is mostly done by a figure; we have a loaded truck of weight W being pulled by a truck with a force F. The CM point on the figure ndicates the location of the center of mass of the trailer and its load. Suppose the trailer accelerates forward (a>0) or backwards (a<0). What...

Tractor pulling 2 trailers starts from rest and then accelerated to a speed of 16.2 km/h in 15s on a straight, level section of highyway. Mass of truck is 5450 kg, trailer a is 31500 kg and trailer b is 19600 kg. Coefficient of kenetic friction for tractor and trailor is 0.23. a)What force...

ugh I've got problems with Newton again. >.< On vacation, your 1500 kg car pulls a 540 kg trailer away from a stop light with an acceleration of 2.00 m/s^2. What force does the trailer exert on the car? F=ma so: Force of car is 1.08 kN and Force of trailer is 3.0 kN. I thought it would...

'United 93' Trailer... I really wonder about people here sometimes... --edit-- forgot the link... http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/news/ap/20060404/114417276000.html

The Comic Con debut trailer is now online. http://www.themoviebox.net/movies/2005/STUVWXYZ/V-For-Vendetta/trailer.php

But not just any trailer...this trailer Just amazing...

The problem is, a 1000kg car pulls a 450kg trailer. The car exerts a horizontal force of 3500N against the ground in order to accelerate. What force does the car exert on the trailer? Assume a friction coefficient of 0.15 for the trailer.

Just thought I'd let you guys know it's up now, for those of you who care. http://www.fahrenheit911.com/trailer/ Anyone planning on seeing it? Considering it won the Palme D'Or in Cannes (though probably more for politcal reasons than for cinematic achievment) it should be good.

OK One of my drivers received a ticket for having too much weight on the rear axle of the truck. In order to correct this problem, do we need to move the wheels further back, or closer to the tractor?

Problem 11. A hauing company needs to determine whether a large house trailer can be moved along a highway that passes under a bridge with an opening in the shape of a parabolic arch, 12m wide at the base and 6 m high in the center. If the trailer is 9m wide and 3.2 m tall(measured from the...
