A 4-wheeled cart has 2 drive wheels of 5 cm radius (each with a dedicated motor) weighs 30 kg without motors or batteries, is intended to accelerate to a top speed of 4 meters/sec in 5 seconds, navigate level surfaces and inclines up to 5% grade. You can assume that the wheels have a coefficient of rolling resistance of 0.012. It is desired that the robot run for a minimum 4 hours between charges. a. Force required to overcome rolling resistance b. Force required to maintain constant velocity on maximum incline c. Force required to accelerate on maximum incline
