The 50-kg crate shown in the Fig.

rests on a horizontal surface for which

the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.3. If the crate is subjected to a
400-N towing force as shown, determine the velocity of the crate in 3 s
starting from rest.

During a high-speed chase, a 2400-lb sports car traveling at a speed of 100 mi/h just
loses contact with the road as it reaches the crest A of a hill. (a) Determine the
radius of curvature ρ of the vertical profile of the road at A. (b) Using the value of ρ
found in part a, determine the force exerted on a 160-lb driver by the seat of his
3100-lb car as the car, traveling at a constant speed of 50 mi/h, passes through A.
