Answer #1

The whole deal is drawing the picture.
the wheel is 1.6 meter down slope from the center line of the vehicle
g is x meters from the road normal to road surface along that center line

so
1.6 / tan 50 = X

X = 1.34m

I hope it was helpful..

  • You drive past a potential parking space in center city. Your new car

    You drive past a potential parking space in center city. Your new car is travelling at 85% the speed of light. If your car is 6.0 m long (which you measured the day you bought it) and you observe the space to be 3.0 m, should you try to park? Why is your friend on the sidewalk (who hasn't studied relativity) so sure that you can park? How does the situation appear to him?

    You can, in an emergency, start a manual transmission car by putting it in neutral, letting the car roll down a hill to pick up speed, then putting it in gear and quickly letting out the clutch. If the car needs to be moving at 3.9 m/s for this to work, how high a hill do you need? (You can ignore friction and drag.)

    The manufacturer claims that your new car gets 25 mpg on the highway. You suspect that the mpg is a different number for your car. The 57 trips on the highway that you took averaged 23.3 mpg and the standard deviation for these 57 trips was 4.3 mpg. What can be concluded at the αα = 0.10 level of significance? For this study, we should use: t-test for a population mean or z-test for a population proportion The null and...
