An airliner lands with a speed of 47.0 m/s.
Each wheel of the plane has a radius of 1.25 m and a moment of inertia of 110 kg*m^2. At touchdown the wheels begin to spin under the action of friction.
Each wheel supports a weight of 1.40X10^4 N, and the wheels attain their angular speed in 0.53 s while rolling without slipping.

QUESTION:
What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels and the runway? Assume that the speed of the plane is constant.

Seems like a bogus question. The wheels can't avoid slipping in the first part of that .53 seconds. Do I misunderstand the question?
