A truck of mass 10,212 kg moving at a speed of 61.2 mph has lost its brakes. Fortunately, the driver finds a runaway lane, a gravel-covered incline that uses friction to stop a truck in such Ax a situation; see the figure.

In this case, the incline makes an angle of θ = 40.15° with the horizontal, and the gravel has a coefficient of friction of 0.634 with the tires of the truck. How far along the incline (Δx) does the truck travel before it stops?
