Chapter 13, Problem 13.18(choose chapter or problem)
The subway train shown is traveling at a speed of 30 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied on the wheels of car A, causing it to slide on the track, but are not applied on the wheels of cars B or C. Knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.35 between the wheels and the track, determine (a) the distance required to bring the train to a stop, (b) the force in each coupling.
