While hauling a log in the back of a flatbed truck, you are pulled over by the state police. Although the log can't roll sideways, the police claim that the log could have slid out the back of the truck when accelerating from rest. You claim that the truck couldn't possibly accelerate at the level needed to achieve such an effect. Regardless, the police write a ticket anyway and now your day in court is approaching. The log has a mass of m = 829 kg; the truck has a mass of M = 9150 kg. According to the truck manufacturer, the truck can accelerate from 0 to 55 mph in 22.0 seconds, but this does not account for the additional mass of the log. Calculate the minimum coefficient of static friction ?s needed to keep the log in the back of the truck. According to the scientific literature, the coefficient of static friction between the log and the trailer bed should be roughly 0.840. Given this fact, select the correct A) There is little chance the log could have slid out the back. B) The police officer is correct. The log posed a real danger. C) The results are not conclusive.

Consider a 1000 w iron whose base plate is made of 0.5 cm thick aluminum alloy 2024-t6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 j/kg°c). the base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°c. assuming 90% of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 200°c.
