Question: G s = 0 . 2 3 0 a = 1 . 1 5 m b = 1 . 7 5 m c = 0

Gs=0.230a=1.15mb=1.75mc=0.350mv=74.0kmht=v=74.0kmht=m=1400kg and a center of mass located atG. The coefficient of static friction between the wheels and the road iss=0.230. The dimensions are a=1.15m,b=1.75m, and c=0.350m. Assume the car starts from rest, , the wheels do not slip on the road, and that the car experiences constant acceleration. Neglect the mass of the wheels. (Figure1)
