A 1,800 kg car is parked on a road that has an elevation level of 7°. Suppose the coefficient of static friction is .65. What is
the force of static friction?
1 answer:
m = mass of the car = 1800 kg
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
= force of gravity on the car
force of gravity on the car is given as
= mg
inserting the values
= (1800) (9.8) = 17640 N
= static frictional force acting on the car
from the force diagram of the car , the static frictional force is opposite to the parallel component of force of gravity on the car . hence static frictional force mus balance the component of force of gravity parallel to incline surface.
hence
=
Sin7
= (17640) Sin7
= 2149.8 N

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the moment of inertia.
The given values can be defined as,
According to the definition of the moment of inertia applied to the exercise we can arrive at the equation that,
Where n is the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel.
Replacing the values at the general equation we have,
Solving for n,
Therefore the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel is 36
PART B) The mass of the wheel is given by the sum of all masses and the total spokes, then
Therefore the mass of the wheel must be of 1.36Kg
