Meriam, Kraige & Bolton β Kinetics of Particles: Problem 3_102
3/102 In a railroad classification yard, a 68-Mg freight car moving at 0.5 m/s at A encounters a retarder section of track at B which exerts a retarding force of 32 kN on the car in the direction opposite to motion. Over what distance x should the retarder be activated in order to limit the speed of the car to 3 m/s at C?
