<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B. 3.43 kPa

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = Force / Area

Force is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. 

 Thus;  Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Substituting;

               Force = (350 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

               Force = 3430 N

Then, using the first equation;

                Pressure = 3430 N / 1m² or Pa

<h3>                             <u>= 3.43 kPa</u></h3>

A 35 kg box rests on the back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction bet?005 (part 1 of 2)A 35 kg box rests on the back
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of box=35 kg

Coefficient of static friction between box and truck bed=0.202

Acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/s^2

a.We have to find the force by which the box accelerates forward.

Force by which box accelerates=\mu mg=0.202\times 9.8\times 35

Force by which box accelerates=62.286 N

b.We have to find the maximum acceleration can the truck have before the box slides.

Force =friction force

ma=\mu mg

a=\mu g=9.8\times 0.202=1.9796 m/s^2

Hence, the truck can have maximum acceleration before the box slide=1.9796 m/s^2
