A container of mass 200 kg rests on the back of an open truck . If the truck aceel- erates at `1.5m//s^(2)` ,what is the minimum coeffiecient of static friction between the container and the bed of the truck required to prevent the container from sliding off the back of the truck ?

Explanation

Mass of the container , m = 200 kg
Acceleration of truck ,a = `1.5ms^(-2)`
Coefficient of static friction , `mu_(s)=(a)/(g)`
` =(1.5)/(9.8)=0.153`
