In both a and b the acceleration on the 5-kg box m is as


In both (a) and (b) the acceleration on the 5-kg box (M) is as large as it can be without the box sliding. Find the coefficient of static friction for each case if the magnitude of the acceleration is 4 m/s2.

(a) The box is on the bed of a truck that is accelerating on flat ground.
