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 13,000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20,000-kg truck moving at 10.0 m/s. Assume the load is not tied down to the truck and has a coefficient of static friction of 0.550 with the truck bed. (a) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck. m (b) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution? (Select all that apply.) O mass of the load O mass of the truck O velocity O coefficient of static friction
