Chapter 4, Problem 4.39(choose chapter or problem)
Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A signicant hazard for the driver is that the load may slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a 10 000-kg load sits on the at bed of a 20 000-kg truck moving at 12.0 m/s. Assume the load isnot tied down to the truck and has a coefcient of static friction of 0.500 with the truck bed. (a) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck. (b) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution?
