Determine the shortest time in which the rig can be brought

Reference no: EM13316797

A truck is traveling down a road with a 3-percent grade at a speed of 55 mi/h when the brakes are applied. Knowing the coefficients of friction between the load and the flatbed trailer (us= 0.40) and (uk= 0.35), determine the shortest time in which the rig can be brought to a stop if the load is not to shift.
