Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slid
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

A)

the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

B)

data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of load m_{LS} = 10000 kg

mass of flat bed m_{FB} = 20000 kg

initial speed of truck v_{0} = 12 m/s

coefficient of friction between the load sits and flat bed μs = 0.5

A) the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.

Now, using the expression

Fs,max = μs F_{N}     -------------let this be equation 1

where F_{N} = normal force = mg

so

Fs,max = μs mg

ma_{max} = μs mg

divide through by mass

a_{max} = μs g    ---------- let this be equation 2

in equation 2, we substitute in our values

a_{max} = 0.5 × 9.8 m/s²

a_{max} = 4.9 m/s²

now, from the third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

v_{f}² = v_{0}² + 2aΔx

where v_{f} is final velocity ( 0 m/s )

a is acceleration( - 4.9 m/s² )

so we substitute

(0)² = (12 m/s)² + 2(- 4.9 m/s² )Δx

0 = 144 m²/s² - 9.8 m/s²Δx

9.8 m/s²Δx = 144 m²/s²

Δx = 144 m²/s² /  9.8 m/s²

Δx = 14 m

Therefore, the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

B) data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load
