When the vehicles are approved for the dynamic events, which of the following modifications are not permitted to the vehicles
-
Substitution of the head restraint
-
Replacement of tires
-
Adjustment of tire pressure
-
Substitution of suspension parts
Correct Answer
A. Replacement of tiresExplanation
When vehicles are approved for dynamic events, they are not allowed to replace their tires. This means that they must use the original tires that came with the vehicle and cannot switch them out for different tires. This is likely because using different tires could potentially give certain vehicles an unfair advantage or disadvantage in terms of performance and handling. All other modifications listed, such as substituting the head restraint, adjusting tire pressure, and substituting suspension parts, may be permitted as long as they meet the event's regulations and safety standards.Rate this question:

Permissible wheel base of the vehicle is
-
(a) 55 inches
-
(b) 1550mm
-
(c) 160 cm
-
(d) 1445mm
Correct Answer(s)
A. (b) 1550mm

The allowable distance of the drivers helmet from the straight line drawn from the top of the main hoop to the top of the front hoop is
-
1.5 inch
-
2 inch
-
2.5inch
-
3 inch
Correct Answer(s)
A. 2 inch
A. 2.5inch
A. 3 inchExplanation
The allowable distance of the driver's helmet from the straight line drawn from the top of the main hoop to the top of the front hoop is between 2 inches, 2.5 inches, and 3 inches. This means that the driver's helmet must not be more than 3 inches away from this straight line, but it must also not be less than 2 inches away. The specific distance within this range will depend on the specific regulations or guidelines in place for the particular situation or event.Rate this question:

Prohibited materials for main hoop are
-
Aluminium alloys
-
Steel
-
Composites
-
Titanium alloys
Correct Answer(s)
A. Aluminium alloys
A. Composites
A. Titanium alloysExplanation
The main hoop is a structural component in various applications, such as roll cages or safety frames. It is designed to provide protection and stability. The materials listed as prohibited for the main hoop, including aluminium alloys, composites, and titanium alloys, may have certain properties that make them unsuitable for this purpose. For example, aluminium alloys and composites may not possess the necessary strength or rigidity, while titanium alloys may be too expensive or difficult to work with. Therefore, these materials are not recommended for use in constructing the main hoop.Rate this question:

In the side view of the vehicle, the portion of the Main Roll Hoop that lies below the upper side impact member attachment point should be inclined to the vertical in the forward
-
10 deg
-
20 deg
-
30 deg
-
Any angle
Correct Answer
A. Any angleExplanation
In the side view of the vehicle, the portion of the Main Roll Hoop that lies below the upper side impact member attachment point should be inclined to the vertical in the forward direction. This is because an inclined angle helps to distribute the impact forces more evenly and redirect them away from the occupants in the event of a side collision. By inclining the Main Roll Hoop at any angle, it provides better structural integrity and enhances the safety of the vehicle.Rate this question:

The distance between front hoop and steering wheel can be
-
225mm
-
250mm
-
275mm
-
300mm
Correct Answer(s)
A. 225mm
A. 250mmExplanation
The correct answer for the distance between the front hoop and the steering wheel can be either 225mm or 250mm. This indicates that there might be some variability or options available in terms of adjusting the distance between these two components. The specific distance chosen may depend on factors such as personal preference, comfort, or specific requirements of the vehicle or driver.Rate this question:

Main Hoop braces can be attached at a distance of ___mm to the top of the Main Hoop
-
160mm
-
6.2 inches
-
150mm
-
170mm
Correct Answer(s)
A. 160mm
A. 6.2 inches
A. 150mmExplanation
The correct answer is 160mm. This means that the Main Hoop braces can be attached at a distance of 160mm to the top of the Main Hoop. The other options, such as 6.2 inches, 150mm, and 170mm, are incorrect.Rate this question:

Length of impact attenuator should not exceed
-
200mm
-
100mm
-
7.8 inches
-
No such rule
Correct Answer
A. No such ruleExplanation
There is no specific rule or requirement regarding the maximum length of an impact attenuator. The length of an impact attenuator can vary depending on the specific application and the design requirements. Therefore, none of the given options accurately state the maximum length of an impact attenuator.Rate this question:

No part of the anti-intrusion plate should permanently deflect more than
-
1 inch
-
2 inch
-
50.8mm
-
25.4mm
Correct Answer(s)
A. 1 inch
A. 25.4mmExplanation
The correct answer is 1 inch or 25.4mm. This means that no part of the anti-intrusion plate should permanently bend or deform more than 1 inch or 25.4mm. This is important for maintaining the structural integrity and effectiveness of the plate in preventing intrusions or break-ins. Any greater deflection could compromise its ability to provide security and protection.Rate this question:

Ground clearance should be
-
Minimum 2 inches
-
Minimum 3 inches
-
Minimum 50.8mm
-
Sufficient enough
Correct Answer
A. Sufficient enoughExplanation
The correct answer is "sufficient enough". This implies that the ground clearance should be enough to meet the requirements or standards necessary for the specific situation or purpose. It suggests that there is no specific numerical value or measurement given for the ground clearance, but it should be adequate for the intended use.Rate this question:

Minimum tread depth should be
-
3/32 inches
-
2.3mm
-
2.4mm
-
3.3mm
Correct Answer(s)
A. 3/32 inches
A. 2.4mmExplanation
The correct answer is 3/32 inches or 2.4mm. This is the minimum tread depth that should be maintained for safe driving. Adequate tread depth is crucial for proper traction and performance of the tires, especially in wet or slippery conditions. Tires with insufficient tread depth can lead to reduced grip, longer stopping distances, and an increased risk of hydroplaning. Therefore, it is important to regularly check and maintain the tread depth of your tires to ensure safe driving.Rate this question:

No such rule
Correct Answer
A. No such ruleExplanation
There is no specific rule or regulation that states a minimum allowable steering system free play. The amount of free play in the steering system can vary depending on the design and condition of the vehicle. It is generally recommended to have as little free play as possible to ensure precise steering control, but there is no specific numerical value mandated by any rule or regulation.Rate this question:
