    A box rests in the rear of a truck moving with a deceleration of \[2\,\,\text{m/}{{\text{s}}^{\text{2}}}.\] To prevent the box from sliding, the approximate value of static coefficient of friction between the box and the bed of the truck should be:

    A) 0.1                               

    B) 0.2

    C) 0.3                               

    D) 0.4

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\mu \,W=\frac{Wa}{g}\] \[\mu =\frac{a}{g}=\frac{2}{9.81}=0.2\]
