    Friction force and train accelerating force are opposite in direction and equal in magnitude. Therefore m x a = u x m x g

    As the mass is same, hence both are cancel out and remaining equation is

    a = u x g

    It’s given that a = 0.20g, so

    0.20g = u x g

    Cancel "g" on both sides;

    0.20 = u

    Thus the coefficient of static friction = u = 0.20
