QUESTION:

Problem 29HP

A car rolls down a hill with a slope such that the gravitational “pull” in the direction of motion is one-tenth of the standard gravitational force (see Problem 1.26). If the car has a mass of 2500 kg, find the acceleration.

Problem 1.26

The standard acceleration (at sea level and 45° latitude) due to gravity is 9.806 65 m/s2. What is the force needed to hold a mass of 2 kg at rest in this gravitational field? How much mass can a force of 1 N support?
