Module 3- Force, Weight and Pressure Measurments

Dear Students,
You need to solve the two assignments below:
Assigment 1
a car is moving/climbing a an inclined surface of an angle 30 degrees, if the acceleration of the car is 3 m/s2 and the car mass is 1200 kg:
answer the following questions:

• The forces that affects the car motion.
• Calculate the engine propelling force , assuming only the friction force, the engine force and the gradient force affects the car motion.

Assigment 2
Identify a real-life example of force/weight/pressure measurement. Create a Wiki, a poster or a brochure describing the following:
1. Real life application/example.
2. Role of force, weight and pressure measurement in that system.
3. Force, weight and pressure measuring instruments used in this application.
