So do I also use the combined brake-road force to calculate the coefficients of friction?

1. A 1000 kg automobile initially moving 72 km/h jams the brakes and skids to a stop in a distance of 24 m on a dry pavement but stops in 81.6 m for a wet pavement. (Neglect reaction delay.) A. Calculate the applied forces for both weather conditions. B. What is the coefficient of friction for...
