A truck is traveling on a level road at a speed of 60 mi/h when its brakes
Question:
A truck is traveling on a level road at a speed of 60 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 20 mi/h. An antiskid braking system limits the braking force to a value at which the wheels of the truck are just about to slide. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the road and the wheels is 0.65, determine the shortest time needed for the truck to slow down.
