A truck with mass m has a brake failure while going down an icy mountain road of constant downward slope angle alfa (see figure). Initially the truck is moving downhill at speed v0. After sliding downhill a distance L with negligible friction, the truck driver steers the runaway vehicle onto a runaway truck ramp of constant upward slope angle beta. The truck ramp has a soft sand surface for which the coefficient of rolling friction is f. After an unknown distance D along the ramp the truck comes to a halt. The acceleration of gravity is g. What is the total work Wf done by the friction force on the runway ramp?
