Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 65GP
|| A pickup truck is carrying a toolbox, but the rear gate of the truck is missing, so the box will slide out if it is set moving. The coefficients of kinetic and static friction between the box and the bed of the truck are 0.355 and 0.650, respectively. Starting from rest, what is the shortest time in which this truck could accelerate uniformly to 30.0 m/s (≈60 mi/h) without causing the box to slide? Include a free-body diagram of the toolbox as part of your solution. (Hint: First use Newton’s second law to find the maximum acceleration that static friction can give the box, and then solve for the time required to reach 30.0 m/s.)

|| It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. You've both
been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled
and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the
sled at a 30° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 60 kg
and that you're pulling with a force of 75 N. What answer will you give?
