An automobile driver traveling down an 8% grade slams on his brakes and skids 30 m before hitting a parked car. A lawyer hires an expert who measures the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road to be k = 0.45. Is the lawyer correct to accuse the driver of exceeding the 25-MPH speed limit? Explain.
Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle? FIGURE P5.76

You are trying to slide a heavy trunk across a horizontal floor. The mass of the trunk is 85kg, and you need to exert a force of 3.3*10^2 N to make it just begin to move. a)Determine the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the trunk.b)After the trunk starts moving, you continue to push with this force. The trunk reaches a speed of 2.0m/s after 5.0s. Calculate the acceleration of the trunk if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the trunk and the floor is 0.32.

Please answer fast While hauling a log in the back of a flatbed truck, a driver is pulled over by the state police. Although the log cannot roll sideways, the police claim that the log could have slid out the back of the truck when accelerating from rest. The driver claims that the truck could not possibly accelerate at the level needed to achieve such an effect. Regardless, the police write a ticket, and the driver's court date is approaching. The log has a mass of ?=904 kg; the truck has a mass of ?=8.90×103 kg. According to the truck manufacturer, the truck can accelerate from 0 to 55 mph in 26.0 s, but this does not account for the additional mass of the log. Calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction ?s needed to keep the log in the back of the truck.
