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 P3.10

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate A and the bed of the truck is 0.3 and static friction is not sufficient to prevent slip, determine the minimum distance d between the crate and the truck B so that the crate never hits the truck at B.
