Homework Statement
A truck with a heavy load has a total mass of 5100 kg. It is climbing a 15∘ incline at a steady 15 m/s when, unfortunately, the poorly secured load falls off! Immediately after losing the load, the truck begins to accelerate at 1.5 m/s2.
What was the mass of the load? Ignore...
This is what I get :
final KE = initial PE - work done
½mv² = mgh - µk*mgLcos(arcsin(h/L)) → multiply by 2/m
v² = 2gh - 2µk*mgLcos(arcsin(h/L)) → take square root
v = √(2gh - 2µk*gLcos(arcsin(h/L))
