Which seat should she take?

Rebecca (F=40kg) is at the bus stop when her friends drive up. She can either sit in the front seat or the back seat. The front seat has a coefficient static friction of Us=0.50. The back seat has a coefficient static friction of Us=0.70.
If she sits in the front seat she has to hold her friends books (M=10kg).
If she wants to maximize her total static friction force possible, which seat should she take?

Force of Static Friction = μs x Force Normal
Force Normal = Mass x g; g= 9.8 m/s2
Force of Static Friction Front = .5 x 9.8 m/s2 x 50kg (40kg + 10kg) = 245 N
Force of Static Friction Back = .7 x 9.8 m/s2 x 40kg = 274.4 N

She'd be better off wearing leather trousers and jogging is she wants to increase the friction. Srs chaffage. Ya. Rly.


Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

Onya Dave, LOL

Just imagine the mathematical horror she would have had to go through when she had actually chosen the bus.

Nothing beats the mathematical horror of dislikes on Youtube.

She should take the seat most likely to get smashed head-on by an 18-wheeler.

I want to know the coefficient static friction of the boot.

I should have known. :P

Oh please, don't post this stuff! I had a horrific exam last december about this things, and even though I passed, I still can't stand it.

And this year it's Electrostatic things for me. Pray for my soul.

Speaking of buses, I took the bus home after a heavy night on the turps last weekend. I made it home safe and warm, which is really surprising as I've never driven a bus before.

mmm. I was just as drunk but I drove home. Which was silly, considering I didn't drive there

Video proves she can only sit in the middle back seat.

2 day ban for posting that, please.

What I want to know is, if, when she's in the back seat, her friend is on her right, who's the girl on the left?

If a moderator says that, you'd better be careful...
