Q1 A plow located on the front of a truck scoops up a liquid slush at the rate of 12 ft/s and throws it off perpendicular to its motion, 0 = 90°. If the truck is traveling at a constant speed of 14 ft/s, determine the resistance to motion caused by the shoveling. The specific weight of the slush is y, = 5.5 lb/ft.
