First slide
The two types of acceleration
Question

A truck is carrying a box of mass m = 50 kg on its flat horizontal rough surface with coefficient of friction μ = 0.3. It is crossing a circular track of radius 27 m. What is the maximum speed of the truck so that the box does not slide from the truck while moving on the circular path?

Moderate
Solution

F.B.D. of the particle in truck travel.

Here mv2R = μmg

v2 = μ g R = 0.3×10×27 m/s =32.4 km/s
