1. A flatbed truck is carrying a crate up a 10.0 degree hill. The coefficient of static friction between the truck bed and the crate is 0.350. Find the maximum acceleration that the truck can attain before the crate begins to slip backward relative to the truck. Note: place the x axis along the incline plane and the y axis perpendicular to the incline plane.

A flatbed truck is carrying a crate up a hill of angle of inclination $\theta=10.0^{\circ},$ as the figure illustrates. The coefficient of static friction between the truck bed and the crate is $\mu_{\mathrm{s}}=0.350 .$ Find the maximum acceleration that the truck can attain before the crate begins to slip backward relative to the truck.

a flatbed truck is carrying a 20kg crate up a sloping rope. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed is 0.4, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.30. what is the maximum angle of slope that the truck can climb at constant speed if the crate is to stay in place?
