Question

A mercedes-benz 300sl (m 5 1700 kg) is parked on a road that rises 158 above the horizontal. what are the magnitudes of (a) the normal force and (b) the static frictional force that the ground exerts on the tires?

Answer 1

The normal force of a certain thing is the weight in force of the object multiplied by the sine function of the angle of inclination, be ∅ in this case. Given the mass of the car equal to 300 slug or 5.17 kg, then the nrmal force is 5.17*9.81 sin ∅ or 50.72 sin ∅. The frictional force is normal force times ∨k or coefficient of friction
