GO You testify as an expert witness in a case involving an accident in which car A slid into the rear of car B, which was stopped at a red light along a road headed down a hill (Fig. 6-25). You find that the slope of the hill is θ = 12.0°, that the cars were separated by distance d = 24.0 m when the driver of car A put the car into a slide (it lacked any automatic anti-brake-lock system), and that the speed of car A at the onset of braking was v 0 = 18.0 m/s. With what speed did car A hit car B if the coefficient of kinetic friction was (a) 0.60 (dry road surface) and (b) 0.10 (road surface covered with wet leaves)? Figure 6-25 Problem 18.

The 10-kg lamp in Fig. 3-11a is suspended from the three equal-length cords. Determine its smallest vertical distance s from the ceiling if the force developed in any cord is not allowed to exceed 50 N.
Problem 3: Incline with Friction
|A mass m = 2 kg is launched with an initial speed vo = 1 m/s down an incline with coefficient of static friction
H, = 3/4 and coefficient of kinetic friction A = 2/3. It travels a distance L = 4 m down the incline before reaching
the bottom of the incline with speed vy. The angle 0 such that the values of cos(8) and sin(0) are the ones provided
below and you may use g = 10 m/s².
(B) A maintenance man (climber) tries to maintain one of the power stations iocated at the
top of the mountain in the situation of winter. During his work and by mistake drops his
water bottle which then slides 100 M down the side of a steep icy slope to a point which is
10 m lower than the climber's position. The mass of the climber is 60 kg and his water bottle
has a mass of 500 g.
1) If the bottle starts from rest, how fast is it travelling by the time it reaches the bottom
of the slope? (Neglect friction.)
What is the total change in the climber's potential energy as she climbs down the mountain
to fetch her fallen water bottle? i.e. what is the difference between her potential energy at
the top of the slope and the bottom of the slope? Analysis all the above situation.
