A flatbed truck is loaded with a stack of sacks of cement whose combined mass is 1143.5 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the bed of the truck and the bottom sack in the stack is 0.372, and the sacks are not tied down but held in place by the force of friction between the bed and the bottom sack. The truck accelerates uniformly from rest to 56.6 mph in 22.9 s. The stack of sacks is 1 m from the end of the truck bed. Does the stack slide on the truck bed? The coefficient of kinetic friction between the bottom sack and the truck bed is. 0.257. What is the work done on the stack by the force of friction between the stack and the bed of the truck?
