A semi is traveling down the highway at a velocity of v = 26 m/s. The driver observes a wreck ahead, locks his brakes, and begin
s to slide. The truck has mass m and a coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road of μk = 0.26.
Write an expression for the sum of the forces in the x-direction for the truck while braking.

Answer:
fcosθ + Fbcosθ =Wtanθ
Explanation:
Consider the diagram shown in attachment
fx= fcosθ (fx: component of friction force in x-direction ; f: frictional force)
Fbx= Fbcosθ ( Fbx: component of braking force in x-direction ; Fb: braking force)
Wx= Wtanθ (Wx: component of weight in x-direction ; W: Weight of semi)
sum of x-direction forces = 0
fx+ Fbx=Wx
fcosθ + Fbcosθ =Wtanθ

Answer:
(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s
(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.
Explanation:
The equations governing the position of the projectile are
where is the initial velocity.
(a).
When the projectile hits the 50m mark, ; therefore,
solving for we get:
Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that
which gives
(b).
The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,
the vertical component of the velocity is
which gives a speed of
Answer:
The young tree, originally bent, has been brought into the vertical position by adjusting the three guy-wire tensions to AB = 7 lb, AC = 8 lb, and AD = 10 lb. Determine the force and moment reactions at the trunk base point O. Neglect the weight of the tree.
C and D are 3.1' from the y axis B and C are 5.4' away from the x axis and A has a height of 5.2'
