Baggage on the floor of the baggage car of a high-speed train is not prevented from moving other
than by friction. Determine the smallest allowable value of the coefficient of static friction between a
trunk and the floor of the car if the trunk is not to slide when the train decreases its speed at a
constant rate from 200 km/h to 90 km/h in a time interval of 12 s. (0.260)

Blocks A and B have masses of 11 kg and 5 kg, respectively, and they are both at a height h = 2 m
