A 4500 kg truck is parked on a 19° slope. How big is the friction force on the truck?
mgsin(19)-f=ma
let the truck is at rest so a=0
mgsin(19)=f
f=4500*9.8*0.325
=14357.55
As the truck is not accelerating, we have the net force f = ma = 0 = w - F = W sin(theta) - F; where W = mg = 4500*9.8 = ? is the weight; so that the friction force F = w = mg sin(theta) = 4500*9.8*sin(19) = 14357.55561 = 14357.6 Newtons. ANS.
