b. Given that the coefficient of static friction between the road and tires is u, derive an expression for the maximum towing load Lp in terms of m, (F-150 mass), m, (mass of the additional load placed in the truck bed), L (F-150 wheel-base length), u,r (radius of F-150 tires). Assume at this point that the F-150 engine can provide limitless torque to the rear axle. b.
