Question
The figure shows a 2000 kg cable car descending a high hill. A counterweight of mass 1800 kg on the
other side of the hill. Due to mechanical failure, this cable car lost all the wheels and has to relayed on
road friction to stop the cable car. What will be the coefficient of friction required to stop this
mechanically failed cable car?
