A delivery truck with a flat bed drives around the city of San Francisco, which is famous for its steep hills. The truck carries a crate on its bed. Unwisely, the driver has not secured the crate to the bed, so the crate merely rests on the bed of the truck. See Fig. 6.3.1.
Question 3
The truck is now at rest on the incline at the stoplight. When the stoplight changes to green, the truck speeds up from rest. What maximum acceleration magnitude can the truck have if the crate is not to slip relative to the bed of the truck?
