Hi I'm new to this forum, I've seen it before but since I'm now taking physics courses at my university, I've decided to register.
I'm working on an assignment and I'm stuck on two or three questions. Some of them I've already solved, but there's one in particular that I'm not certain there's enough data given to solve it. Here it goes:

Now I can do certain friction problems, but I'm clueless on this one. I've tried to acquire the mass of the book form the static coefficient, but something tells me that I'm going in the wrong direction. Can anyone tell me what I should do to solve this problem? ThanxA book sits on a horizontal top of a car as the car accelerates horizontally from rest. If the static coefficient of friction between the car top and the book is 0.45, what is the maximum acceleration the car can have if the book is not to slip?
(a) 3.21 m/s2 (b) 3.76 m/s2 (c) 4.02 m/s2 (d) 4.41 m/s2
