Question:

You find it takes 200 N of horizontal force to move an empty pickup truck along a level road at a speed of 2.4 m/s. You then load the pickup and pump up its tires so that its total weight increases by 42% while the coefficient of rolling friction decreases by 19%. Now what horizontal force will you need to move the pickup along the same road at the same speed? The speed is low enough that you can ignore air resistance.
