Question

Suppose that your car is stuck on an icy (but not frictionless) street. Several of your friends come by and want to help. They suggest that they sit in the truck if you mr car to increase the traction.
Will this approach work? Why or why not? Explain in reasonable detail. (You may assume the car had rear-wheel drive, since most do) Suppose that your car is stuck on an icy (but not frictionless) street. Several of your friends come by and want to help.

Explanation / Answer

here the surface is ice so that friction is very less so that we need to increase the friction inorder to move the car

generally friction = f*mue*n

here n is the normal force

in this case n = mg

if weight increases then friction also increases

so this approach is correct
