1.(6/42) A woman pedals her bicycle up a 5-percent grade on a slippery road at a steady speed. The woman and bicycle have a combined mass of 82 kg with mass center at G. If the rear wheel is on the verge of slipping, determine the coefficient of friction s between the rear tire and the road. If the coefficient of friction were doubled, what would be the friction force F acting on the rear wheel? (Why may we neglect friction under the front wheel?)(ANS =0.0824, F =40.2 N)
