PROBLEM 13.127 A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 80 km/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 30 km/h. An antiskid braking system limits the braking force to a value at which the wheels of the truck are just about to slide. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the road and the wheels is 0.60, determine the shortest time needed for the truck to slow down.

A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 60 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 20 mi/h. An antiskid braking system limits the braking force to a value at which the wheels of the truck are just about to slide. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the road and the wheels is 0.60, determine the shortest time needed for the truck to slow down.
NEED WITHIN 1HR PLEASE, THANKS 2. A truck is traveling on a level road at a speed of 90 km/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 30 km/h. An antiskid braking system limits the braking force to a value at which the wheels of the truck are just about to slide. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the road and the wheels is 0.65, determine the shortest time needed for the truck to slow down.
The carnival ride from Prob 12.51 is modified so that the 80-kg riders can move up and down the inclined wall as the speed of the ride increases. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the wall and the platform is 0.2, determine the range of values of the constant speed v0 for which the platform will remain at h = 1.5 m.Reference to Problem 12.51:

In order to determine the weight of a freight train of 40 identical boxcars, an engineer attaches a dynamometer between the train and the locomotive. The train starts from rest, travels over a straight, level track, and reaches a speed of 30 mi/h after three minutes. During this time interval, the average reading of the dynamometer is 120 tons. Knowing that the effective coefficient of friction in the system is 0.03 and air resistance is negligible, determine (a) the weight of the train (in tons), (b) the coupling force between boxcars A and B.
In anticipation of a long 7° upgrade, a bus driver accelerates at a constant rate of 3 ft/s2 while still on a level section of the highway. Knowing that the speed of the bus is 60 mi/h as it begins to climb the grade and that the driver does not change the setting of his throttle or shift gears, determine the distance traveled by the bus up the grade when its speed has decreased to 50 mi/h.
People with mobility impairments can gain great health and social benefits from participating in different recreational activities. You are tasked with designing an adaptive spring-powered shuffleboard attachment that can be utilized by people who use wheelchairs. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 15 ounce puck A and the wooden surface is 0.3, the maximum spring displacement you desire is 6 inches, and that you want the puck to travel at least 30 ft/s, determine (a) the spring constant k, (b) how far the athlete should pull back the spring to make the puck come to rest after 34 ft.
At an intersection, car B was traveling south and car A was traveling 30° north of east when they slammed into each other. Upon investigation it was found that after the crash the two cars got stuck and skidded off at an angle of 10° north of east. Each driver claimed that he was going at the speed limit of 50 km/h and that he tried to slow down but couldn’t avoid the crash because the other driver was going a lot faster. Knowing that the masses of cars A and B were 1500 kg and 1200 kg, respectively, determine (a) which car was going faster, (b) the speed of the faster of the two cars if the slower car was traveling at the speed limit.
The subway train shown is traveling at a speed of 30 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied on the wheels of cars B and C , causing them to slide on the track, but are not applied on the wheels of car A. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.35 between the wheels and the track, determine (a) the distance required to bring the train to a stop, (b) the force in each coupling.
Car B is towing car A at a constant speed of 10 m/s on an uphill grade when the brakes of car A are fully applied causing all four wheels to skid. The driver of car B does not change the throttle setting or change gears. The masses of the cars A and B are 1400 kg and 1200 kg, respectively, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.8. Neglecting air resistance and rolling resistance, determine (a) the distance traveled by the cars before they come to a stop, (b) the tension in the cable.
A 2000-kg automobile starts from rest at point A on a 6° incline and coasts through a distance of 50 m to point B. The brakes are then applied, causing the automobile to come to a stop at point C, 20 m from B. Knowing that slipping is impending during the braking period and neglecting air resistance and rolling resistance, determine the speed of the automobile at point B. The speed of the automobile at point B is ___ m/s.
