A crate of 68 kg simply stands on the moving cart with constant acceleration a. The height from the center of gravity to the cart, L, is 1.5 m, and the angle 0= 13°. What is the maximum acceleration a (in m/s2) the cart can have without tipping over on the cart? The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the cart is ls = 0.49. Please pay attention: the numbers may change since they are randomized. Your answer must include 3 places after the decimal point. Take g = 9.81 m/s².
