The truck has a mass of 1.25 Mg and a center of mass at G. Determine the greatest
load it can pull if:
(a) the truck has rear-wheel drive while the front wheels are free to roll.
(b) the truck has four-wheel drive.
The coefficient of static friction between the wheels and the ground is µs=0.5, and
between the crate and the ground, it is us=0.4.
Note: Rear-wheel drive means the rear wheels must slip and four-wheel drive all four wheels
must slip. So in this problem, the wheels must be on the verge of slipping, max. friction force.
