Parking on a Hill
A. If you park on a hill with a 10 degree slope with the car
held by the parking brake, what is the magnitude of the frictional force that
holds your car in place?
B. The coefficient of static friction between your car's wheels
and the road when wet is 0.30. What is the largest angle slope on which you can
park your car in the rain so that it will not slide down the
hill?
C. The coefficient of kinetic friction between your wheels and the wet road surface is 0.25. If someone gave your your car a push on the wet hill from B and it started sliding down, what would its acceleration be?
