QUESTION:
Find the acceleration the cart in Figure 6–42 must have in order for the cereal box at the front of the cart not to fall. Assume that the coefficient of static friction between the cart and the box is 0.38.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4:
Consider we are pushing a shopping cart with an acceleration so that the cereal box at the front of the cart should not fall. The coefficient of the static friction between the cereal box and the cart is given. We are going to find the acceleration needed.
The acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s2
The coefficient of static friction ?s = 0.38
The weight of the cereal W = mg (where m is the mass of the cereal)
