Answer:
constant horizontal force developed in the coupling C = 11.25KN
the friction force developed between the tires of the truck and the road during this time is 33.75KN
Explanation:
See attached file
The friction force between the tires of the truck and the road is 22500 N.
It is given that a 2 Mg truck ( m = 2000 Kg) is initially moving with a speed of u = 15 m/s.
Distance traveled before coming to rest, s = 10m
The final velocity of the truck will be zero, v = 0
When the breaks are applied, only the frictional force is acting on the truck and it is opposite to the motion of the truck.
The frictional force is given by:
f = -ma
the acceleration of the truck = -a
The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is opposite to the motion.
Applying the third equation of motion we get:
v² = u² -2as
0 = 15² - 2×a×10
225 = 20a
a = 11.25 m/s²
So the magnitude of frictional force is:
f = ma = 2000 × 11.25 N
f = 22500 N
