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?

- 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, that a 9,000 kg load sits on the flat bed of a 25,000 kg truck moving at 11.0 m/s. Assume that the load is not tied down to the truck, but has a coefficient of friction of 0.550 with the flat bed of the truck. a) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for the truck for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.arrow_forwardA pickup truck is carrying a 10.0 kgkg toolbox, but the tailgate of the truck is missing, so the box can slide out if it starts moving. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the toolbox and the truck bed are 0.34 and 0.15, respectively. Assume that the truck bed is horizontal. What is the shortest time the truck could take to accelerate from rest to 9.60 m/sm/s without causing the toolbox to slide?arrow_forwardA 3.47 kg block is placed at one end of a wooden plank that is 9.05 m long. The plank is slowly tilted.(a) The block starts to slide when the angle reaches 70 degrees. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the ramp?(b) The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is about uR = 0.13. At what rate will the block accelerate down the plank if it is tilted at 60 degrees?arrow_forward
- Two children are pulled on a sled over snow-covered ground. The sled is pulled by a rope that makes an angle of 35° with the horizontal. The children have a combined mass of 45 kg and the sled has a mass of 5.0 kg. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are u, = 0.20 and µ, = 0.15. Calculate the maximum possible force of static friction between the sled and snow. If the tension in the rope is 95 N, will the sled move? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardA man wants to accelerate a child on a sled. The combined mass of the child and the sled is 30.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the sled is 0.150. In case (1), the man applies a force of 200.0 Newtons at an angle of 30.0˚ below the horizontal. In case (2), he applies the same force at an angle of 30.0˚above the horizontal. What is the acceleration of the sled in each case?arrow_forwardAsaparrow_forward

The counterweight is a 65.0-kg weight on the roof of the building, connected to the crate by a steel cable passing over a pulley. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the roof material and the counterweight is 0.750. Assume the mass of the cable and friction in the pulley are negligible. At what rate will the crate being lowered accelerate downwards? What is the tension in the cable?arrow_forwardA block of mass m1 = 3.9 kg is placed on top of a block with mass m2 = 5.4 kg.
