Question
2 The tractor has a weight of 8000 lb with center of
gravity at G. Determine if it can push the 550-lb log up the
incline. The coefficient of static friction between the log and
the ground is μ = 0.5, and between the rear wheels of the
tractor and the ground p = 0.8. The front wheels are free
to roll. Assume the engine can develop enough torque to
cause the rear wheels to slip.
