The body and bucket of a skid steer loader has a weight of 2000 lb, and its center of gravity is located at G. Each of the four wheels has a weight of 100 lb and a radius of gyration about its center of gravity of 1 ft. If the engine supplies a torque of M = 100 lb · ft to each of the rear-drive wheels, determine the speed of the loader in t = 10 s, starting from rest. The wheels roll without slipping.
