A 570 kg truck is carrying a large 1.9 kg box on its cargo deck when it starts to accelerate. If the coefficient of static friction between the box and the truck’s deck is 0.26, what is the maximum acceleration, in m/s 2, that the truck can have without letting the box slip?

Answer 1

Retrd

Answer 2

Fn = mg
Fs = coeff of static fiction(Fn)
a=Fs/m

note. use mass of box only
