The coefficient of static friction between a 1800 kg car's tires and the road is 0.9. What is the maximum force that the tires can exert on the road before slipping? ​

Respuesta :

The maximum force that the tires can exert on the road before slipping is 16200 N.

From the information in the question;

The coefficient of static friction =  0.9

The mass of the car = 1800 kg

Using the formula;

μ = F/R

μ  = coefficient of static friction

F = force on the tires

R = the reaction force

But recall that the reaction is equal in magnitude to the weight of the car.

W=R

Hence; R = 1800 kg × 10 ms-2 = 18000 N

Making F the subject of the formula;

F = μR

Substituting values;

F =  18000 N × 0.9

F = 16200 N

Hence, the maximum force that the tires can exert on the road before slipping is 16200 N.
