    Determine acceleration on slope using coefficient of static friction

    Setting up the equation I thought this would be on the right track, but my answer for part A still isn't right: Maximum Acceleration = Net Force in X-direction/ mass = -mg sin 21.2deg + maximum static frictional force/ mass Maximum static frictional force = coefficient of static friction...

    Determine acceleration on slope using coefficient of static friction

    THE PROBLEM: A sports car is accelerating up a hill that rises 21.2 ° above the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the wheels and the road is μs = 0.880. It is the static frictional force that propels the car forward. (a) What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration...
