**Problem Statement:**

The crate has a mass of 80 kg and is being towed by a chain which is always directed at 20° from the horizontal as shown. Determine the crate’s acceleration in \( t = 2 \, \text{s} \) if the coefficient of static friction is \( \mu_s = 0.4 \), the coefficient of kinetic friction is \( \mu_k = 0.3 \), and the towing force is \( P = (90t^2) \, \text{N} \), where \( t \) is in seconds.

**Diagram Description:**

The diagram shows a crate on a horizontal surface. A chain is attached to the crate and is pulling it at an angle of 20° above the horizontal. The chain is labeled with a force \( P \).

**Solution:**

The answer for the crate's acceleration at \( t = 2 \, \text{s} \) is given as \( a = 1.747 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).
