    Coefficient of friction (between road and wheels of accelerating truck)

    thanks rock.freak667, I have found the answer it was on a website called http://www.physics247.com/physics-homework-help/friction-and-weight.php" the answer was 0.09 as is shown here: mu = Ff/Fn Ff = (ma) - Fengine mu = ((ma) - Fengine)/-(mg) mu = ((1400 * 2) - 4000)/-(1400 * 9.81) mu =...
