Consider the tractor shown in $($Figure $1).$ The front wheels are free to roll. The tractor weighs $2900$ lb and has a center of gravity at $\backslash ($ G $\backslash ).$ The coefficient of static friction between the rear wheels and the ground is $\backslash (\backslash$mu$\_\{$s$\}=0\mathrm{.}5\backslash ).$

Part A

Determine the torque $\backslash ($ M $\backslash )$ that must be applied by the engine to the rear wheels of the tractor to cause them to slip.

Express your answer in kilopound$-$feet to three significant figures. Assume the positive direction is counterclockwise. Figure
