Chapter 13, Problem 13.124

(choose chapter or problem)

Steep safety ramps are built beside mountain highways to enable vehicles with defective brakes to stop. A 10-ton truck enters a \(15^{\circ}\) ramp at a high speed \(v_{0} = 108 \ ft/s\) and travels for 6 s before its speed is reduced to 36 ft/s. Assuming constant deceleration, determine (a) the magnitude of the braking force, (b) the additional time required for the truck to stop. Neglect air resistance and rolling resistance.
