A forklift and its driver have a combined
mass of 907 kg and a center of gravity at
G1. Additionally, a box of 408 kg with center
of gravity in G2 is transported. The operator
was driving at a constant speed of 2.75 m/s
when he braked emergency where the
forklift skidded and nearly tipped forward
until it stopped. Determine the coefficient
of kinetic friction (uk) between the tires and
the rolling surface under these conditions.
