Answer to Problem 99P
The magnitude of the combined force of friction at 20 m/s is 491 N and at 30 m/s is 981 N .
Explanation of Solution
Given:
On a 2.87° hill, speed of car is 20 m/s ,on a 5.74° hill, speed of car is 30 m/s and total mass of the car is 1000 kg .
Formula used:
Magnitude of force of friction at 20 m/s is F20 and magnitude of force of friction at 30 m/s is F30 .
The diagram representing the situation is given below.
Write the equation of resultant along the incline in equilibrium position.
∑Fx=0
Here, Fx is summation of all the forces along incline.
Substitute mgsinθ−Ff for Fx in above equation.
mgsinθ−Ff=0
Rearrange above equation.
Ff=mgsinθ …... (1)
Here, mgsinθ is component of Fg along the incline and Ff is the frictional force.
Calculation:
Whenspeed of car is 20 m/s .
Substitute 2.87° for θ , 1000 kg for m and 9.81 m/s2 for g in equation (1).
F20=(1000 kg)(9.81 m/s2 )sin(2.87°)≈491 N
Whenspeed of car is 30 m/s .
Substitute 5.74° for θ , 1000 kg for m and 9.81 m/s2 for g in equation (1).
F30=(1000 kg)(9.81 m/s2 )sin(5.74°)≈981 N
Conclusion:
Thus, the magnitude of the combined force of friction at 20 m/s is 491 N and at 30 m/s is 981 N .

Answer to Problem 99P
The total useful work in kilometers per liter when engine goes at 30 m/s is 6.36 km/L .
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The magnitude of the combined force of friction at 20 m/s is 491 N and at 30 m/s is 981 N .
Formula used:
Write the expression for work done by engine.

Here, Δs20 is the distance in kilometers per liter when speed is 20 m/s and Δs30 is the distance in kilometers per liter when speed is 30 m/s .
Rearrange above equation.
Δs30=F20F30Δs20 ........(4)
Calculation:
Substitute 491 N for F20 , 981 N for F30 and 12.7 km/L for s20 in equation (4).
Δs30=491 N981 N(12.7 km/L)=6.36 km/L
Conclusion:
Thus, the total useful work in kilometers per liter when engine goes at 30 m/s is 6.36 km/L .
