A flatbed truck on a horizontal road is loaded with a block whose mass M = 900 kg. Initially the block is at a distance x = 1 m from the back end of the truck bed. The kinetic and static friction coefficients between the block and the flatbed of the truck are µk = 0.30 and µs = 0.32, respectively. The block is not tied down; it is held in place by the frictional force. The truck accelerates uniformly from rest to vf = 108 km/h in t = 12 seconds. What is the work done on the block by the friction force between the block and the flatbed of the truck?

the question6
- Figure above shows the cross section of a wall made of two layers. The thickness of the 2 nd layer is L2= 0.70L1. The thermal conductivities of the layers are 0.25 and 0.75 W/mK, respectively and thermal conduction is steady. If the temperatures at inlet and between the layers are Ti = 30.0°C and T=8 °C, respectively; what is the outside temperature To for unit area?
