For crate to not move : Friction Force = Acceleration force on the crate

So, µmg = ma

Where m = mass of crate , a = acceleration force on the crate

So, acceleration = m × a
= 0.3 × 9.81
= 2.943 ms/^2

For truck : v = u + at

Where v = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s , u = 0 m/s

So, v = u + at
16.67 = 0 + 2.943t
t = 5.66 s

Since the crate is required to be on the verge of slipping ,

F f =μ s = 0.34 N
N

Equation of motion : a y =0

+ ∑ F y =¿ ma y : N – 200(9.81) = 200 (9.81)

N = 1962 N

+ ∑ F x =¿ma x : -0.34 (1962) = 200 (-a)

a = 3.3354 m/ s2

Kinematics : The final velocity of the truck is ,

V = ( 60 km/h ) ( 1000 m/1km )( 1h/3600s ) = 16.67 m/s

Since the acceleration of the truck is constant ,

V = V 0 +a c t
16.67 = 0 + 3.3354 t

t = 5.00s
