An industrial trolley of mass 350 kg is used to transport equipment and materials to a workstation within the R and D section. Initially the trolley is at the top of a 15 m high hill, which is inclined at 10º to horizontal as shown and travelling at 6 m/s before rolling down into the station. On reaching the bottom of the hill, brakes are applied to the trolley to slow it down to 0.25 m/s in 4.5 m.   Determine:   The braking force that slowed the trolley down The time it takes the trolley to slow down

Task 6

An industrial trolley of mass 350 kg is used to transport equipment and materials to a workstation within the R and D section. Initially the trolley is at the top of a 15 m high hill, which is inclined at 10º to horizontal as shown and travelling at 6 m/s before rolling down into the station. On reaching the bottom of the hill, brakes are applied to the trolley to slow it down to 0.25 m/s in 4.5 m.

 

Determine:

 

  • The braking force that slowed the trolley down
  • The time it takes the trolley to slow down
  • The deceleration of the trolley
