The pickup of the figure shown is travelling at a constant speed of 50 mi/h and is carrying a 60-lb box in the back. The box projects 1 ft above the cab of the pickup. The wind resistance on the box can be approximated as a uniformly distributed force of 25 lb/ft on the exposed edge of the box. Calculate the minimum coefficient of friction required to keep the box from sliding on the bed of the pickup. Also determine whether or not the box will tip over.
