A gear engine automobile is traveling along a curved track of 120m radius. Each of the four wheels has a moment of inertia of 2.3 kg m2 and an effective diameter of 600 mm. The rotating parts of the engine have a moment of inertia of1.25kg m2 the gear ratio of the engine to back wheel is 3:2.The engine axis is parallel to the gear axle and the crank shaft rotates in the same sense as the road wheels. The mass of the vehicle is 2050 kg and the center of mass is 520 mm above the road level. The width by the track is 1.6m, what will be the limiting speed of the vehicle if all the four wheels maintain contact with the road surface
