[QUOTE="PhanthomJay, post: 4597353, member: 58874"] Hi javaldesc, welcome to PF!You picked a strange problem to start off with! I don't know if there might be an error in the problem or in your description of it, but assuming it is correctly stated, the problem is a 'tricky' one. You get a negative acceleration value no matter which direction you choose, which indicates something else is happening, like you might want to consider whether the system is even moving at all, in which case the friction force would be static and less than its limiting value at impending motion. If you had an answer, we could check out what the book approach was. I think it may have been written incorrectly, based on the questions asked. [/QUOTE]
