2.
- Which of the following front bulkhead support configurations is compliant to the rules? The front of the vehicle is pointed to the right.
Correct Answer
D. Configuration D
Explanation
Configuration D is compliant to the rules because it shows the front bulkhead support with the front of the vehicle pointed to the right.
3.
The ground clearance of an FSAE vehicle has to be (at least):
Correct Answer
C. Zero if e.g. Sliding skirts are used
Explanation
The ground clearance of an FSAE vehicle has to be zero if sliding skirts are used. Sliding skirts are a type of aerodynamic device that extends down to the ground to reduce drag. In order for the sliding skirts to function properly, they need to be in constant contact with the ground. Therefore, the ground clearance needs to be zero to ensure that the skirts are effectively reducing drag.
4.
To prevent vehicle roll during cornering the roll center has to be:
Correct Answer
D. At 2/3 of the vehicle CoG height
Explanation
The roll center needs to be at 2/3 of the vehicle's Center of Gravity (CoG) height in order to prevent vehicle roll during cornering. This is because placing the roll center higher than the CoG creates a moment that opposes the rolling motion, providing stability to the vehicle. Placing it lower than the CoG would create a moment that amplifies the rolling motion, leading to instability. Therefore, positioning the roll center at 2/3 of the vehicle's CoG height is the most effective way to prevent vehicle roll during cornering.
5.
As per the Rulebook the rule for Side Impact Structures is applicable for- Cockpit 2. Drivers Leg 3. Accumulator 4. Tractive system
Correct Answer
B. 1,3,4
Explanation
The Side Impact Structures rule is applicable for the Cockpit, Accumulator, and Tractive system. This means that these three components must meet certain requirements and standards in order to ensure safety in the event of a side impact. The rule does not apply to the Driver's Leg, so it is not included in the correct answer. Therefore, the correct answer is 1,3,4.
6.
Identify the type of fit, H7/g6 :
Correct Answer
A. Sliding fit
Explanation
A sliding fit refers to a type of fit where there is a small amount of clearance between the mating parts, allowing them to slide or move easily against each other. In the case of H7/g6, H7 represents the hole tolerance and g6 represents the shaft tolerance. This combination suggests that the hole is slightly larger than the shaft, creating a sliding fit where the parts can slide smoothly against each other.
7.
What is the minimum distance between the Main hoop tubes where the Main hoop connects to the major structure of the frame?
Correct Answer
B. 380 mm
Explanation
The minimum distance between the Main hoop tubes where the Main hoop connects to the major structure of the frame is 380 mm.
8.
For T-Inspection and vehicle Simulation, What is the preferred weight of the driver?
Correct Answer
D. 77 kg
Explanation
The preferred weight of the driver for T-Inspection and vehicle simulation is 77 kg. This weight is likely considered ideal for these activities, possibly due to factors such as maintaining balance and stability while operating the vehicle, ensuring proper weight distribution, and minimizing potential safety risks.
9.
Which type of coolant is allowed for tractive system?
Correct Answer
D. Plain Water or Oil only
Explanation
The correct answer is Plain Water or Oil only. This means that either plain water or oil can be used as a coolant for the tractive system. Other options such as water wetter, glycol antifreeze, or a combination of different coolants are not allowed for the tractive system.
10.
All threaded fasteners utilized in the driver’s cell structure, and the steering, braking, driver’s harness and suspension systems must meet or exceed, ___________________________specifications.
Correct Answer
SAE 5.0
Metric Grade 8.8
AN/MS
SAE 5
Metric 8.8
Explanation
All threaded fasteners utilized in the driver's cell structure, and the steering, braking, driver's harness, and suspension systems must meet or exceed SAE 5.0, Metric Grade 8.8, AN/MS, SAE 5, and Metric 8.8 specifications.
11.
Any portion of the roll bar, roll bar bracing or frame which might be contacted by the driver’s helmet must be covered with a minimum thickness of ___________ mm ?
Correct Answer
12
Explanation
The correct answer is 12 because any portion of the roll bar, roll bar bracing, or frame that might be contacted by the driver's helmet must be covered with a minimum thickness of 12 mm. This is to ensure the safety of the driver in case of any impact or collision. The thickness provides a sufficient barrier to prevent any direct contact between the helmet and the roll bar, reducing the risk of injury to the driver's head.
12.
The Steering cross section template is from the rear surface of the _________________ to the ______________ distance of __________________Write answer.for the three blanks giving space E.g Rear section 500mm behind motors
Correct Answer
Front Hoop 100mm Brake pedal
N/A
Explanation
The Steering cross section template is from the rear surface of the Front Hoop to the 100mm distance of the Brake pedal. The answer also includes "N/A" which suggests that there is no specific distance mentioned for the third blank.
13.
It is essential to have an eye bolt for Lap belt mounting
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
Having an eye bolt for lap belt mounting is essential because it provides a secure attachment point for the lap belt. The eye bolt is designed to handle the forces exerted on the belt during a collision or sudden stop, ensuring that the belt remains in place and effectively restrains the occupant. Without an eye bolt, the lap belt may not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury in the event of an accident. Therefore, it is important to have an eye bolt for lap belt mounting.
14.
It is essential to have an eye bolt for Shoulder Harness mounting
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
An eye bolt is not essential for Shoulder Harness mounting. There are other suitable methods and hardware available for mounting shoulder harnesses, such as brackets or anchor points specifically designed for this purpose. Therefore, the statement is false.
15.
It is essential to have an eye bolt for Anti-submarine belt mounting
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
Having an eye bolt for anti-submarine belt mounting is not essential. An eye bolt is a type of fastener with a looped head that is used to secure objects or provide attachment points. However, for anti-submarine belt mounting, other types of fasteners or attachment points can be used instead of an eye bolt. Therefore, the statement is false.
16.
Maximum 70% of the brake travel can be used for Regenerative braking
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The statement is false because maximum 100% of the brake travel can be used for regenerative braking. Regenerative braking is a system that allows the electric motor to act as a generator, converting the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electrical energy. This energy is then stored in the battery for later use. Therefore, there is no limitation on the percentage of brake travel that can be used for regenerative braking.
