Explain why the rod remains at rest, supporting the curtain. Explain why the name is misleading and come up with a better name.

Assume that the driver begins to brake the car when the distance to the wall is d=109 m, and take the car's mass as m=1430 kg, its initial speed as v0=39.0 m/s, and the coefficient of static friction as μS=0.500. Assume that the car's weight is distributed evenly on the four wheels, even during braking. (a) What magnitude of frictional force is needed (between tires and road) to stop the car just as it reaches the wall? (b) What is the maximum possible static friction fS, max? (c) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the (sliding) tires and the road is μk=0.410, at what speed will the car hit the wall?
