Chapter 5, Problem 69GP
|| At night while it is dark, a driver inadvertently parks his car on a drawbridge. Some time later, the bridge must be raised to allow a boat to pass through. The coefficients of friction between the bridge and the car’s tires are μs = 0.750 and μk = 0.550. Start each part of your solution to this problem with a free-body diagram of the car. (a) At what angle will the car just start to slide? (b) If the bridge attendant sees the car suddenly start to slide and immediately turns off the bridge's motor, what will be the car’s acceleration after it has begun to move?

I Review | Constants
You find it takes 210 N of horizontal force to move an
unloaded pickup truck along a level road at a speed of
2.4 m/s. You then load up the pickup and pump up its tires
so that its total weight increases by 42% while the coefficient
of rolling friction decreases by 19%.
Part A
Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air
resistance.
Express your answer using two significant figures.

|| It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both
been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled
and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the
sled at a 30° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 60 kg
and that you're pulling with a force of 75 N. What answer will you give?
