Question 84
XE-DNAT2 marksNeeds review
The truck shown in the figure is moving on a horizontal road at a speed of 20 m/s. It is carrying a box of mass 100 kg, which is simply placed on the truck platform. The coefficient of friction between the truck platform and the box is 0.25. Take acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s
. Assume uniform deceleration during braking, and the coefficients of static and kinetic friction to be the same. The shortest distance in meters in which the truck can be brought to rest without the box slipping is
______(round off to the nearest integer)
