Water flows steadily from a faucet of the 1st floor at elevation z=2m with supply pressure of 50lbf/in2 above atmospheric, area 20cm2, to the roof of a building with z=4m and through a nozzle with area 5 cm2, into ambient air with a pressure of 0 lbf/in2 above atmospheric. What is the velocity of the water leaving the nozzle to km/h? Assume that viscous effects are negligible. ρ = 997kg/m3, G=9.81 m/s2 Give your answer in form e.g. 12.34

Our vehicle completes the Acceleration Event. Its velocity is 126km/h when it crosses the finish line. How many points did we get, if we assume that acceleration is constant and the best corrected time was achieved by a vehicle going 133.2 km/h when it crosses the finish line? Round in one decimal

A circular Disc of radius r=40 cm is allowed to spin on a frictionless axle. The Disc, which is initially at rest, has a force applied at an angle of 20 degrees to its tangent of magnitude 50N. The disc has a mass equal to 250 kg and is homogenous. What is the angular acceleration of the disc in rad/s^2. Round in 2 decimals

A car with a total mass of 1359 Kg is driving on a road. Due to bad weather conditions, the driver loses control and crashes straight into a wall with a speed of 108 km/h. Calculate the coefficient of stiffness of the car's part that impacts with the wall, if the deformation that occurs is 0.25m. Round to first Decimal.

The center of pressure is 0.1m behind the center of gravity and at the same height. Your car has a 50/50 weight distribution and the height of the COG from the Ground is 30cm. The car is currently driving at 100km/h. Calculate the force on the front left tire assuming, that there is no weight transfer. You can use the following values in your calculations:( Enter the absolute value of your answer in N, rounded without decimals)

m=240Kg Cl=3.2 Cd=1.1 A=1 m^2 ρ=1.1 kg/m3 Wheelbase: L=1.53m

Seven identical pieces of iron with a mass of 50kg and a temperature of 176° Fahrenheit are sunk inside an insulated container with 0.5m3 of water with a temperature of 77° Fahrenheit. Determine the absolute temperature of the system after a long time in Kelvin. Consider the specific volume of water to be 0.001 m3/kg, the specific heat capacity of iron to be CFe = 0.45 kJ/kg °C and the specific heat capacity of water CH2O = 4.18 kJ/kg °C. Give your answer with two decimal places.

Choose the false sentences:

If a team has bought a part that has been modified in an “assembly”, it is then considered “made part” in the CRD.

Changes on the vehicle since the submission deadline of the CRD, can be presented to the judges in a changelog. If this happens, five penalty points will be deducted from the team’s cost event score.

The EDR must include text and three drawings showing the vehicle from the front, the top and the side. The EDR can also include pictures, graphs, cover sheets and tables of content but it cannot include renderings.

In the case of an APPS implausibility due to data corruption, the shutdown circuit must open.

A person is riding a merry-go-round which has a radius of r=3m and an angular acceleration of a = cos(t). The person is continuously blowing a whistle which emits a sound at 485Hz. At t=0 the angular velocity of the merry-go-round is ω=3rad/s. What is the maximum frequency (with two decimals in Hz) that a listener can hear, if they are a long distance away and are moving towards the merry-go-round with a speed of 5m/s? Consider that the direction from which the listener is approaching is irrelevant and that the speed of sound is 344m/s. Give your answer in two decimals.

A team has decided to build a custom charger for their accumulator container. Which of the following sentences are correct?

They charger must include a fuse to protect the high current path

The wiring of the high current must have a temperature rating of at least 85°C and it has to be orange.

All TS and LVS wires must be physically separated, so that the required spacing is achieved

The Charger must be equipped with a visible and prominent sticker with the text “High Voltage” and the relevant sign, according to ISO 7010-W014, if the voltage is above 60V DC or 25VAC.

The vehicle number, the university name and the ESO phone number(s) must be displayed and written in Roman Sans-Serif characters of at least 20mm high on the lid of the charger

None of the above. The teams are not allowed to build their own charger.

Choose the false sentences:

The wires for the AMS slaves can have a rating voltage below the maximum TS voltage if the team has proven by calculations in the Electrical System Form (ESF), that the voltage rating is reasonably chosen.

A team is allowed to use a main fuse with a current rating 120A, while the current rating of their AIRs is 100A.

The BPPV of a team will not receive any points if the team fails to make its presentation within its assigned time period.

The winner of the cost and manufacturing event receives 100 points

Find the smallest diameter bolt that can be used in the clevis shown in Figure below if P = 400 kN. The shearing strength of the bolt is 300 MPa. Give your answer in mm in two decimals

A vessel with a frictionless piston contains 1 ft3 of a gas at 200 psia. The piston is held in position by applying an external force. Calculate the amount of work done if: This external force is released gradually until the volume is doubled in such a way that P*V is always a constant. Give your answer in one decimal in psia.

A heat pump works with a pump of 250W and is adding heat to a hot reservoir with a rate of 1500J/s. If that heat pump was used for cooling, what would its coefficiency of cooling be? Round in one decimal.

Which of the statements is true ?

Teams can open an accumulator container to demonstrate the assembly architecture to the judges to add more point in the Design event.

It is not acceptable for a temperature measuring device to be placed less than 15mm along the high current path away from the terminal in direct contact with the respective busbar.

Axial force Fx is acting in a cross sectional area in distance x in a vertical beam due to its own weight. The Axial Stress of that force is relevant to the cross section area.

The TS accumulator container must consist of electrically insulating vertical walls with minimum 75% of the height of the external vertical walls, that divide the container into a section of a minimum 26.455lbs.
