13-2. The two boxcars A and B have a weight of 20 000 lb and 30 000 lb, respectively. If they are freely coasting down the incline when the brakes are applied to all the wheels of car A, determine the force in the coupling C between the two cars. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels of A and the tracks is uz = 0.5. The wheels of car B are free to roll. Neglect their mass in the calculation. Suggestion: Solve the problem by representing single resultant normal forces acting on A and B, respectively. в

b) The maximum speed that a car can turn a curve of 9.00 m radius without skidding is 70.0 mph (miles per hour). If the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is 0.600, what is the rated speed of the banked curve? On a wet day, the same car begins to skid on the curve when its speed reaches 60.0 mph. What is the coefficient of friction in this case? Please answer with complete solution and fre body diagram
A high-speed railway car goes around a flat, horizontal circle of radius 450 m at a constant speed.

A flat (unbanked) curve on a highway has a radius of 220.0 m. A car rounds the curve at a speed of 25.0 m/s. (a) What is the minimum coefficient of friction that will prevent sliding? (b) Suppose the highway is icy and the coefficient of friction between the tires and pavement is only one-third what you found in part (a). What should be the maximum speed of the car so it can round the curve safely?
A ball of unknown mass m is suspended on a light string of length L from the ceiling. This ball is then put into motion so that it rotates in a horizontal circle with a rotation rate of w (in rad/s). Notice that the string makes an angle of 0 with respect to the vertical during this motion. If the ball moved at twice its first rotation rate, find the new angle the string would make with respect to the vertical.
A loaded penguin sled weighing 61.0 N rests on a plane inclined at angle θ = 23.0° to the horizontal (see the figure).

A coin is placed 18.0 cm from the axis of a rotating turntable of variable speed. When the speed of the turntable is slowly increased, the coin remains fixed on the turntable until a rate of 29.0 rpm (revolutions per minute) is reached, at which point the coin slides off. - What is the coefficient of static friction between the coin and the turntable?
