Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as a steel beam. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a 10000 kg load is located on the flatbed of a truck moving at 12.0 m/s. Assume the load is not tied down to the truck and assume that the coefficient of friction between the load and truck bed is 0.500. Calculate the minimum stopping distance for the truck, at which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.
