Determine the maximum acceleration of the truck


A crate of weight W=550 lb has been attached to a pickup truck by a rope whose tensile strength is T_max=350 lb. If the truck and crate start at rest with theta = 30 degrees, determine the maximum acceleration of the truck such that the rope doesn't break. Friction is not negligible and static friction and kinetic friction are 0.4 and 0.25, respectively.
