To determine
The effect of electronics and legislation on today’s vehicle.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The use of electronics in the design of modern vehicles is a rapid ongoing process. It has enabled safer and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Electric and hybrid vehicles could not have been developed and produced without the use of extensive electronic features. Over the time, the growth of electronics has accelerated and this trend is expected to continue as the automotive industries develops and continue to further progress vast in the modern automotive world.
Electronics is the function through which much of safety, security, convenience, comfort and efficient functions are provided in the modern vehicle technology. It has also influenced the design and types of the vehicles which make the vehicle to get better gas mileage as well as being environment friendly too.
The modern existing features like automatic emergency brakes, auto locking, and lightning makes the interiors of the vehicle more appealing as well as comfortable for the user. Without the electronics it could not be possible to meet the ultimate need of the vehicle.

Problem 9.5
9.5 A 1080-kg car is parked on a sloped street. The figure shows its wheels and the position of
its center of mass. The street is icy, and as a result the coefficient of static friction between
the car's tires and the street surface is μs = 0.2. Determine the steepest slope (in degrees
relative to the horizontal) at which the car could remain in equilibrium if
a. the brakes are applied to both its front and rear wheels;
b. the brakes are applied to the front (lower) wheels only.
