$A$ $40 \,kg$ slab rests on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. $A$ $10 \,kg$ block rests on the top of the slab. The static coefficient of friction between the block and slab is $0.60$ while the kinetic friction is $0.40$. The $10 \,kg$ block is acted upon by a horizontal force $100 \,N$. If $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$,the resulting acceleration of the slab will be ........ $m/s^2$.
