PROBLEM 2 A driver is driving at an initial speed of 40 kph. At the back of his truck is a mounted container that is filled with 1.8 m of water. The container is 6 m long, 2 m wide, and 2 m high. The water container is covered with a rubber tarpaulin. After 20 minutes of driving at constant speed, three things happen: (1) The rope of the tarpaulin at the rear end of his truck unravels, causing the back portion of the water surface to be exposed to the atmosphere. He is unaware of this. (2) He sees a van ahead on the road. Ever so inspired by Fast and Furious, he overtakes the van, and at 4 seconds, increases his speed to 72 kph. (3) Upon doing so, the water in his tank partially spills. Poor guy, he is oblivious to the mess, but let's leave it to him to solve that. As for you, dear reader, find the volume of the water spilled, in liters.

A driver is driving at an initial speed of 48 kph. At the back of his truck is a mounted container that is full of water. The container is 6 m long, 2 m wide, and 2 m high. The water container is covered with a rubber tarpaulin. After 20 minutes of driving at constant speed, three things happen: (1) The rope of the tarpaulin at the rear end of his truck unravels, causing the back portion of the water surface to be exposed to the atmosphere. He is unaware of this. (2) He sees a van ahead on the road. Ever so inspired by Fast and Furious, he overtakes the van, and at 3 seconds, increases his speed to 75 kph. (3) Upon doing so, the water in his tank partially spills. Poor guy, he is oblivious to the mess, but let's leave it to him to solve that. As for you, dear reader, find the volume of the water left in his tank, in liters.
The flatbed truck is traveling at the constant speed of 61 km/h up the 0.0012% grade. The final 123kg crate to be delivered was shoved to the back of the truck, resulting in an initial relative velocity of around 3.17m/sec towards the back of the truck. If the crate slides a distance of 2.4 m measured on the truck bed before coming to rest on the bed. 1.) Calculate the block's acceleration. Hint: Grade(%) = tanϴ 2.) Calculate the kinetic friction coefficient between the crate and the truck. 3.) How long did it take the crate to cover a 2-meter distance?

The 19-Mg truck drives onto the 278-Mg barge from the dock at 25 km/h and brakes to stop on the deck. The barge is free to move in the water, which offers negligible resistance to motion at low speeds. Calculate the speed of the barge after the truck has come to rest on it. 25 km/h 278 Mg 19 Mg Answer: v = i km/h

A7.0-Mg truck is resting on the deck of a barge which displaces 329 Mg and is at rest in still water. If the truck starts and drives toward the bow at a speed relative to the barge vrel = 7.1 km/h, calculate the speed v of the barge. The resistance to the motion of the barge through the water is negligible at low speeds. P'rel = 7.1 km/h 7.0 Mg 329 Mg- Answer: v = i km/h
A 15 tons locomotive moving at 5 m/s collides with and is coupled to a 45 tons car at rest on the same straight track. Find their common velocity after impact.

A 2500-lb passenger vehicle originally traveling on a straight and level road gets onto a section of the road with a horizontal curve of radius = 850 ft. If the vehicle was originally traveling at 55 mi/h, determine (a) the additional horsepower on the curve the vehicle must produce to maintain the original speed, (b) the total resistance force on the vehicle as it traverses the horizontal curve, and (c) the total horsepower. Assume that the vehicle is traveling at sea level and has a front cross-sectional area of 30 ft2. Show your solutions and answers.
