A model known as stopping sight distance is used by civil engineers to design roadways. This simple model estimates the distance a driver needs in order to stop his car traveling at a certain speed after detecting a hazard. The model proposed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) is given by S= V^2/2g(fÂ±G) + TV

where
S =stopping sight distance (ft)
V= initial speed (ft Is)
g= acceleration due to gravity, 32.2 ft /s2
f= coefficient of friction between tires and roadway
G=grade of road
T = driver reaction time (s)

Required:
What are the appropriate units for f and G if the preceding equation is to be homogeneous in units? Show all steps of your work.

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10
