The truck shown is traveling at υ0 = 60 mph when the driver applies the brakes to come to a stop. The deceleration of the truck is constant and the truck comes to a complete stop after braking for a distance of 350 ft. Treat the crate as a particle so that tipping can be neglected.

Figure P3.9

Determine the minimum coefficient of static friction between the crate A and the truck so that the crate does not slide relative to the truck.
