A flatbed truck is carrying a crate along a level road. The coefficient of static friction between the load and the bed is 0.40. The truck accelerates forward and the crate stays in its place on the truck bed. In what direction is the force that the bed exerts on the crate? backward toward the centre of the road forward There is not enough information to answer this question. There is no frictional force because the crate does not move with respect to the bed

Problem 1: While training on the planet Dagobah, Luke Skywalker is asked by Yoda to hold a block with a mass of 6.80kg against a vertical wall using only the Force. Luke applies the Force with a magnitude of 115.0N at an angle of 52.0° with respect to the horizontal. Luke discovers that if the Force increases any more, the block begins to slide up the wall. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall? Assume that gravity on Dagobah is the same as gravity on Earth.
