Question: Problem 5 ( 1 6 points ) : The SUV shown below has a mass of 3 Mg with a center of mass at G

Problem 5(16 points): The SUV shown below has a mass of 3 Mg with a center of mass at G. The SUV can be in either front wheel drive (FWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD). If the coefficient of static friction between the wheels and the ground is \(\mu_{s}=0.4\) and the coefficient of static friction between the \(\log \) and the ground is \(\mu_{s}=0.8\) how much more massive a \(\log \) can be pulled in 4WD than FWD? Assume that the motor generates sufficient torque to cause the wheels to slip.
