A package of dishes (mass 60.0 kg) sits on the flatbed of a pickup truck with an open tailgate. The coefficient of static friction between the package and the truck's flatbed is 0.330, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.190.

OpenStudy (myname):

(b) The truck barely exceeds this acceleration and then moves with constant acceleration, with the package sliding along its bed. What is the acceleration of the package relative to the ground?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you found the acceleration ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you're on ground you'lll see that only the kinetic friction provided by truck bed is the force acting on object. Acceleration can be found from there.
