You have been asked to design an escape ramp for trucks in a downhill 40 mph zone. Assuming a truck has lost control at 60 mph and the friction coefficient of your sand/earth ramp is .30, what angle should you make the ramp (nearest degree) if you only have 250 feet horizontal? Hint: you may have to solve this iteratively.
Pahelp po with solution po.
A water tank is being towed on an uphill road that makes 14° with the horizontal with a constant acceleration of 3.5 m/s2 in the direction of motion. Determine the angle the free surface of water makes with the horizontal. What would your answer be if the direction of motion were downward on the same road with the same acceleration?
