I am having some issues understanding how to use the formula(s) to solve this. Our professor is Eastern European and difficult to understand at times. Could someone please help me understand how to do this in some detail please. (I understand the free body diagram, how the forces are affecting the crate, i am having issue applying the formula(s)).
A flatbed truck is carrying a 27.0 kg crate up a sloping road. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed is 0.710. What is the maximum angle of slope that the truck can climb at constant speed if the crate is to stay in place?
