Project 2

To calculate the track peel out strength for the seat, we'll need to determine the forces acting on the seat and analyze the equilibrium conditions. Here's how you can perform the hand calculation:

1. Determine the weight force acting on the seat: Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity Weight = 18 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 (assuming standard gravity) Weight = 176.58 N

2. Calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the weight force: Weight_horizontal = Weight * sin(Alpha Angle) Weight_vertical = Weight * cos(Alpha Angle)

3. Calculate the reaction forces at the mounting points: Reaction1_horizontal = Weight_horizontal * (X_H-Point - X_Point1) / (X_Point2 - X_Point1) Reaction2_horizontal = Weight_horizontal * (X_Point2 - X_H-Point) / (X_Point2 - X_Point1) Reaction1_vertical = Weight_vertical * (Y_H-Point - Y_Point1) / (Y_Point2 - Y_Point1) Reaction2_vertical = Weight_vertical * (Y_Point2 - Y_H-Point) / (Y_Point2 - Y_Point1)

4. Calculate the peel out strength required: Peel_Out_Strength = sqrt((Reaction1_horizontal + Reaction2_horizontal)^2 + (Reaction1_vertical + Reaction2_vertical)^2)
