A truck has a large container with a length of 8 m (distance between front and rear wheels), a width of 1.5 m (distance between left and right wheels), and a height of 2 m. The truck is travelling with the container full of water when the driver sees an obstruction ahead and suddenly steps on the brakes, causing water to spill over. If the depth of the water in the container reduced to 1.75 m, determine the deceleration experienced by the truck
