A tractor-trailer rig with a 2000-kg tractor, a 4500-kg trailer, and a 3600-kg trailer is traveling on a level road at 90 km/h. The brakes on the rear trailer fail, and the antiskid system of the tractor and front trailer provide the largest possible force that will not cause the wheels to slide. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction is 0.75, deter- mine (a) the shortest time for the rig to a come to a stop, (b) the force in the coupling between the two trailers during that time. Assume that the force exerted by the coupling on each of the two trailers is horizontal.

The key to stability is feedback between the reservoir and the fluxes into and/or out of the reservoir. assume that the rate of outflow from a reservoir depends on the size of the reservoir according to the following relationship: outflow rate= k x (size of reservoir), where k is a constant. a reservoir of water has a volume of 5000 liters, and the rate of outflow at steady state is 25 liters per minute. what is k? (give both the numerical value and its units.) what is the residence time? what is the relationship between k and the residence time?
