AI Thread Summary
To calculate the force exerted by the obstacle on the tire, the reaction force can be determined using the wheel's mass, velocity, and the height of the obstacle. Given the parameters, the normal force can be calculated, which acts on both the vertical and horizontal axes during impact. The tire's pressure, stiffness, and suppression will influence the amount of force absorbed, but a portion will remain unabsorbed, contributing to the torque. The normal force does perform work, particularly in lifting the wheel and dissipating kinetic energy. Understanding the relationship between force and work is essential for analyzing the impact dynamics.

Hi there, I have a project of torsion bar. I need to know value of force is making a torque on it.

So I have a velocity V=40km/h, mass per wheel m=530kg, radius of wheel R=290 mm and heigh of obstacle h = 6 cm. What will be the reaction N, on both axis, of obstacle to tire? I have no idea how to calculate that.

Also, tire pressure is p = 0,2 MPa, tire stiffnes k = 150 000 N/m and tire supression is c= 150 Ns/m as tire will absorb some of impact force, but what value of force won;t be absorbed?

Does the normal force do any work?
 
At axis Y it lifts wheel and axis X it is responsible for loosing some kinetic energy.
 
Is that a "yes"?
Do you know a relationship between force and work?
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
