The rear side of a truck is open and a box of 40 kg mass is placed 5 m away from the open end as shown. The coefficient of friction between the box and the surface below it is 0.15. On a straight road, the truck starts from rest and accelerates with 2 ms−2. At what distance from the starting point does the box fall off the truck (i.e., distance travelled by the truck)? [Ignore the size of the box]

Answer» The rear side of a truck is open and a box of $40 kg$ mass is placed $5 m$ away from the open end as shown. The coefficient of friction between the box and the surface below it is $0.15$ . On a straight road, the truck starts from rest and accelerates with $2 {ms}^{- 2}$ . At what distance from the starting point does the box fall off the truck (i.e., distance travelled by the truck)? [Ignore the size of the box]
