Determine the minimum coefficient of static friction


A truck is traveling at v0 = 60mph when the driver applies the brakes to come to a stop. The deceleration of the truck is constant and the truck comes to a complete stop after braking for a distance of 350ft. There is a crate sitting on the the truck and treat the crate as a particle so that tipping can be neglected. 

Determine the minimum coefficient of static friction between the crate and the truck so that the crate does not slide relative to the truck.
