A towing machine can deliver horizontal towing force T by a strong, inelastic cable. The towing force T can vary as shown in the graph. A 490 kg timber, initially at rest, is attached to the towing machine. The static friction coefficient between the timber and the surface is Hk=0.49, and the towing machine must overcome the minimum force needed to move the timber against the static friction. If the kinetic friction coefficient between the timber and the surface is u = 0.39, determine the velocity of the timber at t 6.5 seconds. %3D M T (N) 2000 T=125 r(s) 4.
