3/162 The hydraulic braking system for the truck and trailer is set to produce equal braking forces for the two units. If the brakes are applied uniformly for 5 seconds to bring the rig to a stop from a speed of 20 mi/hr down the 10-percent grade, determine the force \( P \) in the coupling between the trailer and the truck. The truck weighs 20,000 lb and the trailer weighs 15,000 lb.
π Solution Approach
Given: 20,000 lb, 15,000 lb
