Question:

A trailer with loaded weight Fg is being pulled by a vehicle with a force P, as in Figure P12.71. The trailer is loaded such that its center of mass is located as shown. Neglect the force of rolling friction and let a represent the x component of the acceleration of the trailer. (a) Find the vertical component of P in terms of the given parameters.
(b) If a = 2.00 m/s2 and h = 1.50 m, what must be the value of d in order that Py = 0 (no vertical load on the vehicle)?
(c) Find the values of Px and Py given that Fg = 1 500 N, d = 0.800 m, L = 3.00 m, h = 1.50 m, and a = 2.00 m/s2.
