Maximum braking force on level road and downgrade; mop sliding friction limits
The coefficient of static friction between the tires of a car and dry road is 0.62. The mass of the car is 1600 kg. What maximum breaking force is obtainable (a) on a level road and (b) 8.6° downgrade? The handle of a floor mop of mass m makes an angle θ with the vertical direction. Let μk be...- me!ü

Finding the third leg of a sailor's journey with vectors
Homework Statement A sailor in a small sailboat encounters shifting winds. She sails 2.00 km east, then 3.50 km southwest, and then an additional distance in an unknown direction. Her final position is 5.80 km directly east of the starting point. Find the magnitude and direction of the third...- me!ü
