25. You are optimising your car for better cornering. After taking your car a few laps with
tight turns, when you measure the temperature of one of the tires, we find that part of the tyre
which faces the corner has heated up more than the other parts. What conclusion do you get
from this and how will you optimize your car for better cornering now that you have the given
information.

26. What's the material used for the production of lathe cutting tool and mention it's
properties?

27. Diagrammatically represent the roll center of a double wishbone suspension system.

28. What is module of a gear? If a gear has module 2 mm and 10 teeth, what is its pitch
radius?

PART C-3 marks each

29. The Differential gear of a car shown in Fig., the number of teeth on the
pinion A on the propeller shaft is 18 whereas the crown gear B has 90
teeth. If the propeller shaft rotates at 1200rpm and the wheel attached
to the shaft S2 has a speed of 225 rpm, while the vehicle takes a turn,
determine the speed of the wheel attached to the shaft S1.

30.A car has its C.G at 60 cm above the ground level. The car weighs 200 kg with 40:60 front
to rear weight distribution. Assuming that the vehicle is taking a left corner of radius 10 m, at
what velocity will the left front tire lose contact with the ground? (Assume that the car is not
accelerating or decelerating)
