Question

The truck has a mass of 1.25 Mg and a center of mass at G. The coefficient of static friction between the wheels and the ground is Uw = 0.5, and between the crate and the ground, it is uc = 0.4. Determine = = the greatest load it can move if (a) the truck has rear-wheel drive while the front wheels are free to roll. (b) the truck has four-wheel drive.

The truck has a mass of 1.25 Mg and a center of mass at G. The coefficient of static friction between
the wheels and the ground is µw = 0.5, and between the crate and the ground, it is µc = 0.4. Determine
the greatest load it can move if
(a) the truck has rear-wheel drive while the front wheels are free to roll.
(b) the truck has four-wheel drive.
