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 4 = 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, 10kN 0.9 m 0.15 m 0.6 m 1.5 m
