a crate sits on the floor of a boxcar. the coefficient of fritcion between the crate and the florr is .600. what is the maximum speed that the boxcar can go around a curve of radius 200 m. without causing the crate to slide?

The maximum speed that the boxcar can go around a curve of radius 200 m without causing the crate to slide is 8.66 m/s. This can be calculated using the equation v = √(μgR), where μ is the coefficient of friction, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2), and R is the radius of the curve (200 m).
