Textbook Question
Textbook QuestionA large box of mass M is moving on a horizontal surface at speed v₀. A small box of mass m sits on top of the large box. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the two boxes are μₛ and μₖ, respectively. Find an expression for the shortest distance dₘᵢₙ in which the large box can stop without the small box slipping.
