A truck is traveling down a road with a 3-percent grade at a speed of 55 mi/h when the brakes are applied. Knowing the coefficients of friction between the load and the flatbed trailer shown are \(m_{s} = 0.40\) and \(m_{k} = 0.35\), determine the shortest time in which the rig can be brought to a stop if the load is not to shift.
