What Causes a Rod to Slip on a Moving Truck?

In summary, the conversation discusses the inclusion of a truck and a rod in a game, and the desire to determine the acceleration of the rod when it starts slipping against the wall of the truck. It is suggested that a pseudo force will need to be applied on the rod, causing it to have an acceleration of (a) in contact with the truck.

hm...
we will have to apply a pseudo force on the rod. so the acceleration for the bottom of the rod
in contact with the truck will try to move backwards with (a)accelaration.
well...thats the idea I am getting
