Wheel alignment refers the process whereby car wheels are adjusted to the optimum standards recommended by the manufacturer. We adjust alignment angles using sensitive computerized equipment to the desired angles, but they can be adjusted beyond to achieve the required specifications. Incorrect wheel alignment results in some undesired effects. The wheel alignment will reduce tire wear and for the car to travel in a straight line (Pacejka, 2005). Suspensions are made of springs, shock absorbers, tire air, the system of tires and linkages that connect the vehicle to the wheels and allow motion between the two. Suspensions contribute to ...

Aircraft control surfaces are components of an aircraft used to control an aircraft. Normally, the control surfaces are movable parts in the plane wings and the tail. The surfaces help the pilot adjust attitude or plane orientation by creating differential pressure on different parts of the aircraft. The difference is pressure produces a force which then acts on the plane to produce the desired effect. Control surfaces employ the principle of lift just like the wings but in different directions. The lift forces produced by a control surface can act independently or in combination with a force from another ...

Fluid mechanics is one of the major disciplines of physics applied in the design of airplane wings. Out of the many things considered is the relationship between angle of attack, airspeed, and lift. The angle of attack is measured in degrees between the chord and the direction of flight. Lift is an artificial force generated by the wings and can be manipulated by a pilot. Lift has varying characteristics during different times of the flight for instance during a level cruise it equals weight, its greater than weight during a climb and during descent its less than weight.

The parameters under consideration ...

Closed circuit television

Closed circuit television was introduced in the post-war period. It has been used in the industrial and scientific fields, as well as audio-visual communications. Recently closed circuit television has become synonymous with security surveillance. The CCTV technology has improved and we now have clearer images, better infrastructure, digital storage and numerous software add-ons (Wood, 2009). According to McCarthy (n.d.), “Security cameras are now an ubiquitous feature of many institutions and places” (Closed Circuit Television, para. 7). These cameras found in public areas: such as streets, parks, malls, schools and workplaces. This has had an impact on the fight against ...
