Problem: The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.35 with the floor.

Part A: If the train is initially moving at a speed of 41 km/h, in how short a distance can the train be stopped at constant acceleration without causing the crates to slide over the floor?

This is a physic problem, reply as soon as possible. Thanks.
