Q.

A truck with mass m has a brake failure while going down an icy mountain road of constant downward slope angle α (see figure). Initially, the truck is moving downhill at speed v0. After travelling downhill a distance L with negligible friction, the truck driver steers the runaway vehicle onto a runway truck ramp of constant upward slope angle β.The truck ramp has a soft sand surface for which the coefficient of rolling friction is 14. What is the distance that the truck moves up the ramp before coming to a halt?

Denote the distance the truck moves up the ramp by x. K1 = 12mv20 , U1 = mgL sin α, K2 = 0, U2 = mgx sin β and Wother = -μr mgx cosβ. From 

Wother = (K2+U2)-(K1+U1), and solving for x,

x =K1)+mgLsinαmg(sin β+μr cosβ)  = (v202g)+Lsin αsin β+μr cos β
