A truck is carrying a refrigerator as shown in the figure. The height of the refrigerator is 158.0 cm, the width is 60.0 cm. The
center of gravity of the refrigerator is 67.0 cm above the midpoint of the base.
What is the maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator doesn't tip over? (The static friction between the truck and the refrigerator is very large.)

Answer:
a) h = 593.50 m
b) h₁₁ = 103 m
c) vf = 107.91 m/s
Explanation:
a)
We will use second equation of motion to find the height:
where,
h = height = ?
vi = initial speed = 0 m/s
t = time taken = 11 s
g = 9.81 /s²
Therefore,
<u>h = 593.50 m</u>
b)
For the distance travelled in last second, we first need to find velocity at 10th second by using first equation of motion:
where,
vf = final velocity at tenth second = v₁₀ = ?
t = 10 s
vi = 0 m/s
Therefore,
Now, we use the 2nd equation of motion between 10 and 11 seconds to find the height covered during last second:
where,
h = height covered during last second = h₁₁ = ?
vi = v₁₀ = 98.1 m/s
t = 1 s
Therefore,
<u>h₁₁ = 103 m</u>
c)
Now, we use first equation of motion for complete motion:
where,
vf = final velocity at tenth second = ?
t = 11 s
vi = 0 m/s
Therefore,
<u>vf = 107.91 m/s</u>
