Ahorse of mass 242 kg pulls a cart of mass 224 kg. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . what is the largest acceleration the horse can give if the coefficient of static friction between the horse’s hooves and the road is 0.894? answer in units of m/s 2 .

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second Law and the force of friction. According to Newton, the Force is defined as

F = ma

Where,

m= Mass

a = Acceleration

At the same time the frictional force can be defined as,

Where,

Frictional coefficient

N = Normal force (mass*gravity)

Our values are given as,

By condition of Balance the friction force must be equal to the total net force, that is to say

Re-arrange to find acceleration,

Therefore the acceleration the horse can give is

i think the answer would be b
