Two tanks (Tank A and Tank B) are separated by a partition. Initially Tank A contains 2 kg of steam at 1 MPa and 300°C while Tank B contains 3 kg of saturated liquid–vapor mixture at 150°C with a vapor mass fraction of 50 percent. The partition is now removed and the two sides are allowed to mix until

- 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.
