4. The rear-wheel-drive pickup truck, with its center of gravity at G, is to negotiate a bump from a standing start in the position shown. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the tires and the pavement are 0.18 and 0.15, respectively. Determine the largest slope angle 0 that can be negotiated, assuming that the drive wheels are (a) spinning; and (b) not spinning. 12 in. 60 in. 40 in.
