A Crate’s Maximum Acceleration without Slipping#

A wood crate sits in the back of a semi-truck. The coefficients of friction between the crate and the semi-truck are \(\mu_s = \) 0.91 and \(\mu_k = \) 0.46. The semi-truck starts moving up a 30\(^{\circ}\) slope.

Question Text#

What is the maximum acceleration the semi-truck can have without the crate slipping out the back?
