Question: Problem 1 4 . 0 1 9 - Collislon of three cars Cruiser ( A ) was traveling east at ( X

Problem 14.019-Collislon of three cars
Cruiser \(A \)was traveling east at \(X=87\mathrm{mi}/\mathrm{h}\)on a police emergency call when it was hit at an intersection by car \(B \),which was traveling south at high speed. After sliding together on the wet pavement, the two cars hit cruiser \(C \),which was traveling north at \(45\mathrm{mi}/\mathrm{h}\)and was 63ft from the intersection at the time of the first collision. Stuck together, the three cars hit a wall and came to a stop at \(D \).Knowing that car \(B \)weighs 3600lb and that each of the cruisers weighs 3000lb ,solve the oroblems bv nealectina the forces exerted on the cars bv the wet oavement and treating the cars as point masses.
