Q20. The 74-kg man pushes on the 134-kg crate with a horizontal force F. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the surface is k = 0.12, and the coefficient of static friction between the man's shoes and the surface is μ = 0.85, what is the greatest acceleration (in m/s²) the man can give the crate? Hint, this is when the man himself is on the verge of slipping. Please pay attention: the numbers may change since they are randomized. Your answer must include 2 places after the decimal point. Take g = 9.81 m/s².

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that:

Mass of the man is 74 kg

Mass of the crate is 134 kg

Coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the surface is 0.12

Coefficient of static friction between the man's shoe and the surface is 0.85

It is required to determine the greatest acceleration that the man can give to the crate.
