In this section, I am trying to determine frictional forces between surfaces and masses. However, in this type of problem, no masses are given. Here is a type of question:
A crate is carried in a pickup truck traveling horizontally at 15.0 m/s. The truck applies the brakes for a distance of 28.7 m while stopping with uniform acceleration. What is the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the truck bed if the crate does not slide?
I have determined the truck brakes at -3.92 m/s^2. The formula I have for coefficient of static friction is Frictional Force = Coeff. of Friction * Normal Force. However, no forces or masses are given. How can I solve this type of problem?
Thank you
