road. (a) What is the resisting force acting on the truck? (b)
Assume that 65% of the resisting force is due to rolling friction
and the remainder is due to air resistance. If the force of rolling
friction is independent of speed, and the force of air resistance is
proportional to the square of the speed, what power will drive the
truck at 30.0 km>h? At 120.0 km>h? Give your answers in kilowatts and in horsepower.
6.101 .. Automotive Power II. (a) If 8.00 hp are required to
drive a 1800-kg automobile at 60.0 km>h on a level road, what is
the total retarding force due to friction, air resistance, and so on?
(b) What power is necessary to drive the car at 60.0 km>h up a
10.0% grade (a hill rising 10.0 m vertically in 100.0 m horizontally)? (c) What power is necessary to drive the car at 60.0 km>h
down a 1.00% grade? (d) Down what percent grade would the car
coast at 60.0 km>h?
CHALLENGE PROBLEMS
6.102 ... CALC On a winter day in Maine, a warehouse worker
is shoving boxes up a rough plank inclined at an angle a above
the horizontal. The plank is partially covered with ice, with
more ice near the bottom of the plank than near the top, so that
the coefficient of friction increases with the distance x along the
plank: m = Ax, where A is a positive constant and the bottom of
the plank is at x = 0. (For this plank the coefficients of kinetic
and static friction are equal: mk = ms = m.2 The worker shoves
a box up the plank so that it leaves the bottom of the plank moving at speed v0. Show that when the box first comes to rest, it
will remain at rest if
