The 90 slug car is parked on a hill in San Francisco. The car is a front wheel drive, the manual transmission is in 1st gear, parking brake is not applied. The coefficients of friction between the car and the surface it is parked on are us = .42 and uk = .32. In case you have trouble reading the figure, the angle is 17 degrees.

Question

what is the maximum friction?

The 90 slug car is parked on a hill in San Francisco. The car is a front wheel drive, the manual
transmission is in 1st gear, parking brake is not applied. The coefficients of friction between the car
and the surface it is parked on are us = .42 and uk= .32. In case you have trouble reading the
figure, the angle is 17 degrees.
20 in
35 in-
-75 in-
17
Assuming the car is in equilibrium, what is the force F?
What is the maximum possible friction force that can be developed in this situation? In other
words, will the car stay when/where it is parked?
