4/60 A tank truck for washing down streets has a total weight of 20,000 lb when its tank is full. With the spray turned on, 80 lb of water per second issue from the nozzle with a velocity of 60 ft/sec relative to the truck at the 30Β° angle shown. If the truck is to accelerate at the rate of 2 ft/secΒ² when starting on a level road, determine the required tractive force P between the tires and the road when (a) the spray is turned on and (b) the spray is turned off.
π Solution Approach
Given: 60 A, 20,000 lb, 80 lb, 60 ft, 2 ft
Find: (a) the spray is turned on and; (b) the spray is turned off
