A vintage sports car accelerates down a hill at an angle of to the ground figure mentioned. The driver notices that the string of ornamental fuzzy dice hanging from his rear-view mirror is perpendicular to the roof of the car. (a) Draw an FBD of the dice from the frame of reference of the level ground, both when the car is at rest on the hill and when it is accelerating. Explain how the two FBDs differ. (b) Calculate the car's acceleration.
Solution
Verifieda) Here, we have a vintage sports car which accelerates down a hill. In the first part of the problem, we have to draw a free body diagram of dice from the frame of reference of the level ground, both when the car is at rest on the hill and when it is accelerating and to explain the difference.
