Problem 2.70
Heavy rains cause a particular stretch of road to have a coefficient
of friction that changes as a function of location. Specifically, mea-
surements indicate that the friction coefficient has a 3% decrease
per meter. Under these conditions the acceleration of a car skidding
while trying to stop can be approximated by
RsD.kcs/g
(the
3% decrease in friction was used in deriving this equation for accel-
eration), where
k
is the friction coefficient under dry conditions,
g
is the acceleration of gravity, and
c
, with units of
m1
, describes
the rate of friction decrement. Let
kD0:5
,
cD0:015 m1
, and
v0D45 km=h
, where
v0
is the initial velocity of the car. Deter-
mine the distance it will take the car to stop and the percentage of
increase in stopping distance with respect to dry conditions, i.e.,
when cD0.
