A car needs to be towed and is attached to the tow vehicle by a 3.5m long 18mm diameter nylon rope. The tow vehicle is moving 5km/hr and takes up the slack in the rope which results in a sudden load being applied to the rope. The tow vehicle has a mass of 1.8tonnes and the car being towed is initially stationary. If the towing vehicle is instantly slowed to 0.5km/hr by the shock load, (E=2GPa for the rope) determine:
a) The maximum stress induced in the rope. b) The maximum extension of the rope.
c) The factor of safety if the UTS of the rope is 220MPa

In a study investigating the effect of car speed on accident severity, the vehicle speed at impact was recorded for 5000 fatal accidents. For these accidents, the mean speed was 42 miles per hour with a standard deviation of 15 miles per hour. Assuming the speeds are normally distributed, use the empirical rule to answer the following: a) About what percent of vehicle speeds were between 42 and 72 miles per hour? b) About what percent of vehicle speeds were...
