2. The rear wheel of a car has a diameter of 600 mm. the rear axle makes 250 rpm.
Calculate the peripheral speed of the rear wheels in m/s.

3. Triangle ABC has <B = 90°. If AC = 10cm and BC = 8 cm, find

a) The perimeter of the triangle
b) The area of the triangle
4. A steel block having a mass of 90 kg rests on a table, the area of contact with the
table being 2000 mm²
a) Calculate the down ward force
b) Find the average pressure on the table in kN per square meter

5. The flywheel diameter of a motor is 360 mm. the inlet valve opens 14°before TDC and
closes 32°after the bottom dead center. How many mm is the marking inlet valve
opens (Eₒ) and inlet valve closes (Eϲ) away from TDC and BDC?
6. Given double belt drive Z₁ = 18, Z₂ = 55, Z₃ 25, Z₄ = 45, n₄ = 800/min.
M₂ = 627 Nm, ŋ = 0.95. find
a) Total transmission ratio
b) Speed n₂

7. Air is to be compressed in a diesel engine cylinder. The initial pressure and

temperature are 105kw/m²and 15°c respectively. Final pressure is to be 7m N/m². In
order to ignite the final charge injected at the end of compression, the temperature
required is 100 °c. Calculate the ratio of initial volume for this to be possible.
8. A vehicle has a third gear ratio of 1.5 to 1 and rear axle ratio of 4.5 to 1.
Calculate
a) the overall gear ratio
b) What is the number of revolutions made the crown wheel per minute if the
engine speed is 2700rev/min.

9. An engine cylinder contains 525 cm³of gas at an absolute pressure of 1 bar (100
kN/m²). Assuming the temperature is kept constant, calculate the absolute pressure
when the volume is reduced to 75 cm³.
10. A vehicle is accelerated uniformly at 1.5 m/s²from a speed of 27 km/h. calculate
a) The time required to attain a speed of 81 km/h
b) The speed travelled within that time.
