Problem 6.21

A 5000kg truck is parked on a 12? slope.

Part A

How big is the friction force on the truck? The coefficient ofstatic friction between the tires and the road is 0.90.

Force along the slope = mg sin ?

                                                = 5000* 9.8* sin 12

                                                = 10187.6 N

Frictional force = ? N = ? mg cos ? = 0.9 *5000*9.8*cos 12

                                                                = 43136 N

Frictional force is never greater than action force

So, frictanal force = 10187.6 N
