Solve Prob. 8–26 if the truck and crate are resting on an upward 10° incline.

Prob. 8–26

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