Question: The car shown in ( Figure 1 ) has a mass of 1 . 6 Mg and center of mass at ( G

The car shown in (Figure 1) has a mass of 1.6 Mg and center of mass at \( G \). If the coefficient of static friction between the shoulder of the road and the tires is \(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}=0.31\), determine the greatest slope \(\theta \) the shoulder can have without causing the car to slip or tip over if the car travels along the shoulder at constant velocity.
