    The amount of friction on truck required to stop is = mass*g*sin (12)

    = 4800*9.8*sin (12)

    = 9780.16 newton

    The maximum friction = coefficient of friction * force between tyres and road

    Since maximum friction is more than required force to park the truck. Only required amount of friction will act.
