To find the coefficient of friction, we need to use Newton's second law of motion. Let's break down the forces acting on the truck:

1. Normal force (N): This is the force exerted by the incline plane on the truck perpendicular to the surface. Since the truck is stationary, the normal force will be equal to the weight of the truck. The weight can be calculated using the formula: Weight = mass × gravity, where gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s².

Weight = 5000 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 49,000 N

Therefore, the normal force acting on the truck is 49,000 N.

2. Frictional force (f): This force opposes the motion of the truck on the incline plane. The magnitude of the frictional force can be calculated using the formula: Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal force.

We need to find the coefficient of friction. However, you haven't provided the required information to calculate it, such as the value of the frictional force or the value of the force applied to the truck. Once you have this information, you can use the formula mentioned above to find the coefficient of friction.
