A flatbed truck is carrying a heavy crate. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed of the truck is 0.66.What is the maximum rate at which the driver can decelerate and still avoid having the crate slide against the cab of the truck?

The max force friction is mu*mg

So, F=ma
mu*mg=ma
solve for max acceleration a.
