A box rests on a flatbed truck moving downhill. Find the minimum stopping distance.
SEE ATTACHMENT #1 for a diagram showing parameters. A crate rests on a truck which is traveling at speed V= 26 m/sec down a hill inclined at angle b= 8 degrees. The coefficient of friction between crate and truckbed is f= .50. Find the shortest stopping distance such that the crate does not slide forward.
