ACTIVITY NO. 5—F NAME: MUNDINA, ERICA MAY A SECTION 3MB DATE : DECEMBER 10, 2020 T. GIVEN THE TIRE SIDEWALL MARKING OF A PNEUMATIC TIRE 225 /GORIS 47-V, DETERMINE THE FOLLOWING 1) THE Tine TyPE ANSWER : THE “P" STANDS FOR PASSENGER so THIS TIRE 1S OFTEN CALLED P- METIIC, 2) THE wi0TH ANSWER : THE 225 REPRESENTS THE AFPROXIMATE GECTION WIDTH OR WIOTH OF THE TIE FROM GIDEWALL 10 SIDEWALL --225mm 9) THE SIDE WALL HEIGHT ANGWER: GO IG THE ASPECT RATIO, THEREFORE 225 mmx GO% © 125mm GO THE SIDEWALL HEIGHT 1S APPROXIMATELY 135 sm 4) THE MEANING OF 2 ANCWER: THE “R" STANOS FOR RADIAL CONSTRUCTION, WHICH IS THE INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT Tuuck THES $5) THE RIM DIAMETER ANSWER: THE “15 REPRESENTS IN(INCHES) DIAMETER OF THE BEADS, WHICH MEANS THAT THIS TIRE IS DESIGNED TO FiT ON A RIM WITH A 5 INCH DIAMETER. G) THE MAXIMUM SPEED ANSWER > THE “V" INDICATES THE MAXIMUM SPEED WHILE THE “97” 1g THE LOAD INDEX, V IS THE SPEED SYMBOL. REFERRING TO THE SPEED RATING CHART , 240 km/h Ce 149 mph Is THE MAYIMUM SPEED OF THIS TIRE. I. 3) WHAT IS HYOROPLANING OF PNEUMATIC TIRE 7 ANSWER : HYDROPLANKG OCCURS WHEN A SHEET OF WaTER WED- GES MTSELF BETWEEN THE ROAD AND YOUR TIRE, PREVENTING THE TIRES TREAD FROM PROPERLY GRIPPING THE ROAD, THE BIGGER your TIES FOOTPRINT, OR THE MORE CONTACT YoulR TREAD HAS WITH THE ROAD, THE MORE CONTROL YOU HAVE. WHEN YOU HYOROPLANE , YOUR CAR IS BASICALLY LOOSING 1S FOOTING, WHICH CAN LEAD TO A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND AT THE VERY LEAST, JANGLEO NERVES. 8) WHAT CAUSES HYOROPLANING ? ANSWER WHAT [IT OILS DOWN TO 6 THAT WHEN OUR TIRED ARE MOVING OVER A WET SURFACE TOO QUIGKLy THERE IS INSUF- FICIENT TIME TO CHANNEL THE MOISTURE AWAY FROM THE CENTER OF THE TIRE. THE WATER LIFTS THE TIRE AND YoU LOSE TRACTION. THE POINT AT WHICH your VEHICLE BECOMES WATERBORNE IS CALLED THE TRANSITION POINT. duI. 1) WHAT ARE THE PACTORS THAT MAKE HYOROPLANIN( ANCWER: 0.) DEPTH OF COMPACTED WHEEL TRACKS ANO LONGMUDINAL DEPRESSIONS b) PAVEMENT MICRO/ MACK TEXTURE ©) PAVEMENT CROSS SLOPE AND GRADE 4) WIOTH OF PAVEMENT €) ROADWAY CURVATURE 4) RAINFALL INTENSITY AND DURATION 2) WHAT ARE THE PARTS OF HYDROPLANING ? EXPLAIN EACH ANSWER : 1) DYNAMIC HYDROPLANING — IT HAPPENG WHEN WATER LIFTS YOUR WHEELS OFF THE RUNWAY. THIS UCLIALLY HAPPENS WHEN A WEDGE OF WATER BUILDS UP IN FRONT oF YOUR TIRES AND LIFTS THEM OFF THE RUNWAY. WHEN IT HAPPENS , YOURE LITERALLY RIDING ON WATER WHICH Is Nor GOOD BECAUSE YOU DONT HAVE TRACTION OR BRAKING 2) REVERTED RUBBER HYDROPLANING < IT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR TIREC LOCK UP , THE QLIBBER BEGINS TO MELT, AND TRAPPED WATER UNDER THE TIRES TUaN INTO STEAM, WHEN IT HAPPENS , YOURE RIDING ON STEAM, AND MELTING YCUR TIRES IN THE PROCESS. 8) VISCOUS HYDROPLANING ~ WHEN OIL GR ACCUMULATED QUBBER COMBINES WITH WATER ON A RUNWAY, IT CAN FORM AN IMPENETRABLE LAYER OF LIGUID YOUR TIRES CANT BREAK THROUGH. THIS Io ESPECIALLY PROBLEMATIC 0R SMOOTH ASPHALT RUNWAYS,
