Chapter 4, Problem 43P
Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, a 10 000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20 000-kg truck moving at 12.0 m/s. Assume the load is not tied down to the truck and has a coefficient of static friction of 0.500 with the truck bed. (a) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck. (b) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution?

Explain why Ampere’s law can be used to find the magnetic field inside a solenoid but not outside.
3. An Atwood machine consists of two masses, mA
and m B, which are connected by an inelastic cord
of negligible mass that passes over a pulley. If the
pulley has radius RO and
moment of inertia I about its axle, determine the
acceleration of the masses
mA and m B, and compare to the situation where the
moment of inertia of the
pulley is ignored. Ignore friction at the axle O. Use
angular momentum and torque in this solution
