Homework Statement
A flatbed truck is carrying a 3200-kg crate of heavy machinery. If the coefficient of static friction between the create and the bed of the truck is 0.65, what is the maximum rate at which the driver can decelerate when coming to a stop in order to avoid crushing the cab with the crate?
Homework Equations
fric = u*N
Fnet = m * a
The Attempt at a Solution
N = 3200*9.8 = 31360
fric = 0.65 * 31360 = 20384 N
thats as far as I got
