Question
The cart and its contents have a total mass of 4500 kg and a center of gravity at G as shown in
Figure Q4. The coefficient of static friction between the wheels and the tracks is µ, = 0.4 when
the wheels are locked. The normal forces acting on the wheels at (A and B) are independent as
to whether the wheels are locked or not. Therefore,

(a)
Draw the free-body diagram of the system.
(b)
Calculate the normal force acting on the front wheels at B when the brakes at both A and
B are locked.
