A three wheeled OTV has been designed such that the forces from the wheels and motors are uniform, hence the reaction forces at the point of contact with the upper surface can be modeled as a single vertical reaction support. The platform is a square with side length 200mm and has a thickness of 20mm. Plywood has a density of 0.37 g/cm^3. For the purposes of finding the platform weight, W, ignore any holes in the plywood for motor mounts. Due to a misscommunication in the team, the motor mounts M1, M2, and M3 were not attached symmetrically! The potential consequences of this are a difference in reaction forces at the platform to keep it balanced. This difference in reaction forces will result a different normal force at each wheel, and hence the potential for different traction forces, leading to an inability to drive the OTV straight.

A string holds and wraps around a solid cylinder (7-kg and R = 8-m). A person pulls the string vertically upward, so the cylinder's center of gravity does not move and is suspended in midair for 7 second. Note that the rotational inertia of the cylinder about its axis is MR2/2, the tension in the string is 8- N. what is the net force on the cylinder in Newton? Note: Do not include the unit in your answer. T
