Question:

The 30,000-lb concrete pipe section is being transported on a flatbed truck. Five inextensible cables are passed across the top of the pipe and tightened securely to the flatbed with an initial tension of 2000 lb. What is the maximum deceleration a which the truck can experience if the pipe is to remain stationary relative to the truck? The coefficient of static friction between the concrete and the flatbed is 0.80, and that between the cables and the concrete is 0.75.
