On the way to Hilton Head, S.C. for Spring Break, your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. A tow truck weighing 4500 lbs comes along and agrees to tow your car, which weighs 1800 lbs, to the nearest town. The driver of the truck attaches his cable to your car at an angle of 22° from the horizontal. He tells you that his cable has a strength of 550 lbs. He plans to take 10 seconds to tow your car at a constant acceleration from rest, in a straight line along the flat road, until he reaches the maximum speed limit of 45 miles/hour. Can the driver carry out his plan? You assume that rolling friction behaves like kinetic friction, and the coefficient of rolling friction between your tires and the road is 0.10.
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
