Question
An object of mass
m = 0.640 kg
is suspended from the ceiling of an accelerating truck as in the figure below. Take
a = 2.80 m/s2.
The truck returns to a constant velocity so that the mass hangs straight down inside the truck, whereby
? = 0.
Later, the truck carefully slows down. During this braking maneuver, the string is observed to make a constant angle of
? = 23.0°
with the vertical.(c)
What is the acceleration of the truck (in m/s2) while it is braking?
