How Can a Spring-Attached Trolley Calculate Forces for Automatic Gear Changes?

AI Thread Summary
A spring-attached trolley can calculate forces for automatic gear changes using the formula f=kx for force and 1/2kx^2 for potential energy, allowing for the assessment of friction and road slope. Understanding variables such as fuel consumption, speed, acceleration, and vehicle mass is essential for this calculation. While automatic transmission systems are prevalent today, early versions were inefficient and poorly timed in gear changes. Modern automatic transmissions have advanced significantly, requiring extensive knowledge and research to replicate their effectiveness. Achieving comparable performance to contemporary systems is challenging without a deep understanding of the underlying mechanics.

if we keep a spring attached to a trolley on moving vehicle we find the force by f=kx and the potential energy by 1/2kx^2. thus we calculate the friction, the slope of the road and device an system to automatically change gear.we already know the petrol consumed, speed and acceleration and mass of the vehicle.

Is that a question?
There are automatic transmission systems, and they are quite common today.

The early systems were really bad, too, changing gear just when you didn't want to and not doing it when you needed it most. Modern automatic boxes are very sophisticated and you will not achieve anything as good as that without a lot of knowledge and research.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
