Homework Help: Physics

In a movie, a stuntman places himself on the front of a truck as the truck accelerates. The co efficient of friction between the stuntman and the truck is 0.65. The stuntman is not standing on anything but can “stick” to the front of the truck as long as the truck continues to accelerate. What minimum forward acceleration will keep the stuntman on the front of the truck?
