3. In the figure below, a runaway truck with failed brakes is moving downgrade at 36 m/s just before the driver steers the truck up a frictionless emergency escape ramp with an inclination of 0 = 15º. The truck's mass is 1.5 x 104 kg. (a) What minimum length L of the ramp must the ramp have if the truck is to stop at the top of the ramp at height h? (b) Does the minimum length L increase, decrease, or remain the same if the truck's mass is decreased? Why? (c) If its speed is decreased? Why? (d) What is the velocity of the truck when its at 4 the length of the ramp? [25 pts] Sketch and Label L h I 0
