Question

A crate of eggs is located in the middle of the flatbed of a pickup truck as the truck negotiates a curve in the flat road. The curve may be regarded as an arc of a circle of radius 35.0 m. If the coefficient of static friction between crate and truck is 0.600, how fast can the truck be moving without the crate sliding?

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 14.35 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that crate is placed on rough bed

so here when pickup will take a turn around a circle then in that case the friction force on the crate will provide the necessary centripetal force on the crate

So here we have

$\mu mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

here we have

$\mu g = \frac{v^2}{R}$

now we know that

$v = \sqrt{\mu Rg}$

here we have

$\mu = 0.600$

R = 35 m

g = 9.81 m/s/s

now plug in all values in above equation

$v = \sqrt{(0.600)(35)(9.81)}$

$v = 14.35 m/s$
