A heavy cabinet with a mass of 135kg is transported on the truck platform. Assume that the friction between the cabinet and the platform is so great that the cabinet cannot slip, but can instead tip over. The dimensions shown in the cabinet figure are hG = 1.8m, xG = 1.0m and b = 3.4m. How high can the maximum acceleration of the truck to the right be without the cabinet tipping over? What is the angular acceleration of the cabinet in the situation under consideration
