Homework Statement
A crate (35 kg) is located in the middle of the flat bed of a pickup truck as the truck rounds an unbanked curve in the road. The curve may be regarded as an arc of a circle of radius 80.0 m. If the coefficient of static friction between crate and truck is 0.410, how fast can the truck be moving in m/s and miles per hour without the crate sliding? (1 mile = 1609 m)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm just doing some practice problems before my midterm next week...I have NO idea how to approach this one
I have mass (35kg)
coefficient of F_S is .410
we haven't gone over something like this yet in class...but I want to practice any problems I can...
where do I even begin to start with this one?
