(choose chapter or problem)

A loaded railroad car has a mass of 30 Mg and is supported by eight 800-mm-diameter wheels with 125-mmdiameter axles. Knowing that the coefficients of friction are 0.020 s = and 0.015, k = determine the horizontal force required (a) to start the car moving, (b) to keep the car moving at a constant speed. Neglect rolling resistance between the wheels and the track.
