The tire has a mass of 230 kg and a diameter of 1.50 m. Your hands are a full diameter away from the contact point (the point on the tire that remains in contact with the ground). Calculate the minimum force you need to apply to the tire to start it rotating about the contact point, assuming the tire is initially horizontal. Assume the mass of the tire is distributed uniformly throughout the tire.
