A truck has a golf cart with no brakes on its back bed. To prevent it from rolling out, a ramp is installed. What is the maximum acceleration force that the engine can apply before the cart goes over the ramp and falls out? The mass of the truck is \(M = {{ params.MT }} \ \rm{kg}\), the ramp has an angle \(\theta = {{ params.theta }}^{\circ}\), and the cart has a mass \(m = {{ params.mc }} \ \rm{kg}\).
