A flatbed truck carries a load of steel. Only friction keeps the steel from sliding on the bed of the truck. The driver finds that the minimum stopping distance in which he can stop from a speed of 20.0 mi/h without having the steel slide forward into the truck cab is 20.0 m. What would his minimum stopping distance be when going down a 10 degree incline?
