A 1,800 kg car is parked on a road that has an elevation angle of 7°. Suppose the coefficient of static friction of the kinds of rubber and asphalt involved is 0.65. Which is approximately the force of static friction between the tires and the road? Question options: 2,200 N 9,300 N 11,350 N 18,000 N I got A, but I was told I was wrong.

OpenStudy (fandude727):

B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get that @Fandude727 ?

OpenStudy (fandude727):

wait

OpenStudy (fandude727):

F = 1800kg x 9.80N/kg x sin7° F = 2150.0N I think A is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha @Fandude727 That's exactly what I thought, but I was told I was wrong!

OpenStudy (fandude727):

but it doesn't match any of the options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, and 2200 isn't correct either. :(

OpenStudy (fandude727):

Hmm,

OpenStudy (fandude727):

Well, I'm completely stumped

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Fandude727 well thank you for trying :) I'm very stumped too haha!

OpenStudy (fandude727):

You're welcome.

OpenStudy (fandude727):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm? I believe so, and I really just want to know where I went wrong.

OpenStudy (fandude727):

So do I.

OpenStudy (fandude727):

@Artkid101 My brother says it's D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Fandude727 How did he get that? Do you know?

OpenStudy (fandude727):

No, he sat down at the computer for like 10 minutes and said it was D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
