Figure shows a man standing stationary with respect to a horizontal conveyor belt
that is accelerating with 1 ms^{-2} . What is the net force on the man? If the coefficient of static friction between the man’s shoes and the belt is 0.2, upto what maximum acceleration of the belt can the man continue to be stationary relative to the belt? Mass of the man = 65 kg.
( g = 9.8 m/s² )
