Solve any one question from Q2(b) & Q2(c)

2 (b) A car moving on a level road at a speed 50 km/h has a wheel base 2.8 meters, distance of C.G. from ground level 600 mm, and the distance of C.G. from rear wheels 1.2 meters. Find the distance travelled by the car before coming to rest when brakes are applied, 1. to the rear wheels, 2. to the front wheels, and 3. to all the four wheels. The coefficient of friction between the tires and the road may be taken as 0.6.(8 marks) 2 (c) A band and block brake, having 14 blocks each of which subtends an angle of 15° at the centre, is applied to a drum of 1 m effective diameter. The drum and flywheel mounted on the same shaft has a mass of 2000 kg and a combined radius of gyration of 500 mm. The two ends of the band are attached to pins on opposite sides of the brake lever at distances of 30 mm and 120 mm from the fulcrum. If a force of 200 N is applied at a distance of 750 mm from the fulcrum, find:
1. maximum braking torque
2. angular retardation of the drum, and
3. time taken by the system to come to rest from the rated speed of 360 r.p.m.
The coefficient of friction between blocks and drum may be taken as 0.25.
