In Fig. 12-48, the driver of a car on a horizontal road makes an emergency stop by applying the brakes so that all four wheels lock and skid along the road. The coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road is 0.40. The separation between the front and rear aides is L = 4.2 m, and the center of mass of the car is located at distance d = 1.8 m behind the front axle and distance h = 0.75 m above the road. The car weighs 11 kN. Find the magnitude of (a) the braking acceleration of the car, (b) the normal force on each rear wheel, (c) the normal force on each front wheel, (d) the braking force on each rear wheel, and (e) the braking force on each front wheel. (Hint: Although the car is not in

The center of mass of the ladder is 1/3 of the way up the ladder. The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the ground is 0.53. If a carpenter climbs 85% of the way up the ladder before it starts to slip, find the mass of the carpenter.arrow_forwardIn the figure, a climber leans out against a vertical ice wall that has negligible friction. Distance a is 0.975 m and distance L is 1.90 m. His center of mass is distance d = 0.91 m from the feet-ground contact point.
