    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...
