The driver attempts to tow the crate using a rope that has a tensile strength T_max. If the crate is originally at rest and has weight W, determine the greatest acceleration it can have if the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the road is μ_s and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μ_k. Given:
