A problem that dates back to Appstate Solar Vehicle Team testing last spring at WWHS. Cushman is alive again! Visit golfcarcatalog.com for all your golf car needs...and tell them we sent you. You can visit Mr. Triolo and his golf car experts in person at Mountaintop Golf Cars Inc. in Fosco, NC. They are the best! The ultimate goal of the activity is to use trigonometry to pull with a great enough force to get a truck unstuck from the mud or snow. The picture shows students demonstrating they can move a 5000 lb truck up a steep hill using a tow strap and trigonometry. The same task was tried by 11 students pulling tug of war style. Results-1 student armed with trigonometry can outperform the 11 using pure muscle. Tyson Foods has been a partner to our EV program since we started in 2005.
