Question: A block of mass M= 18.4 kg rides on the back of a flat truck on a horizontal road. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and truck is 0.192; the coefficient of static friction is 0.470.
Part A: If the truck has an acceleration of magnitude a= 2.83 m/s2 and the block is riding without slipping what is the magnitude of the force of friction on the block?
Please show all work and steps to determine the magnitude of the force of friction on the block.
