A rear wheel drive car has an engine running at 3296 revolutions/minute. It is known that at this engine speed the engine produces 80 hp. The car has an overall gear reduction ratio of 10, a wheel radius of 16 inches, and a 95% drivetrain mechanical efficiency. The weight of the car is 2600 lb, the wheelbase is 95 inches, and the center of gravity is 22 inches above the roadway surface. What is the closest distance the center of gravity can be behind the front axle to have the vehicle achieve its maximum acceleration from rest on good, wet pavement?

the closest distance the center of gravity can be behind the front axle to have the vehicle achieve its maximum acceleration from rest on good, wet pavement is 47.8 in

Explanation:

Given that;

Weight of car W = 2600 lb

power = 80 hp = 44000 lb ft/s

Engine rpm = 3296

gear reduction ratio e = 10

drivetrain efficiency n = 95% = 0.95

wheel radius R = 16 in  = 1.3333 ft

Length of wheel base L = 95 in =

coefficient of road adhesion u = 0.60

height of center of gravity above pavement  h = 22 in

we know that;

Coefficient of rolling resistance frl = 0.01 for good wet pavement

distance of center of gravity behind the front axle lf = ?

Maximum tractive effort (Fmax) =  (uW / L) (lf - frl h) / (1 - uh / L)

First we calculate our Fmax to help us find lf

Power = Torque × 2π × Engine rpm / 60 )

44000 = Torque ( 2π×3296 / 60)

Torque = 127.5 lb ft  

so

Fmax = Torque × e × n / R

so we substitute in our values

Fmax = 127.5 × 10 × 0.95 / 1.333

Fmax = 908.66 lb

Now we input all our values into the initial formula

(Fmax) =  (uW / L) (lf - frl h) / (1 - uh / L)

908.66 =  [(0.6×2600/95) (lf - 0.01×22)] / [1 - 0.6×22) / 95]

908.66 = (16.42( lf - 0.22)) / 0.86

781.4476 = (16.42( lf - 0.22))

47.59 = lf - 0.22

lf = 47.59 + 0.22

lf = 47.8 in

Therefore the closest distance the center of gravity can be behind the front axle to have the vehicle achieve its maximum acceleration from rest on good, wet pavement is 47.8 in
