Calculate the maximum acceleration (in $m s^{-2}$) of a moving car so that a body lying on the floor of the car remains stationary. The coefficient of static friction between the body and the floor is $0.15$ $(g = 10 m s^{-2})$.

Static friction between two surfaces:

$A$ box of mass $2 kg$ is placed on the roof of a car. The box would remain stationary until the car attains a maximum acceleration. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the roof of the car is $0.2$ and $g=10 ms^{-2}$. This maximum acceleration of the car, for the box to remain stationary, is: (in $ms^{-2}$)

$A$ box of mass $15 \text{ kg}$ is kept on the floor of a stationary trolley. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the trolley is $0.12$. Keeping the box in a stationary state over the trolley, the maximum acceleration with which the trolley can be moved horizontally in $\text{m s}^{-2}$ is: $(g = 10 \text{m s}^{-2})$
