A tractor loader of mass m is moving upward a hill with coals. The mass center (MC) of the tractor
loader is located at G and the MC of the coal load in the loader bucket located at GL (see arrows in
Fig. 3).The Coal Load is mB and its MCGL is at height h = 3.1m and x= 1.5m from the centre
of front wheel M as shown in the figure
ma = 12.250Mg mp=2.381Mg
1. Calculate the reactions by the ground on the wheels at M and N when the tractor is moving at an
acceleration of 0.5 m/s2 from rest.
2. Determine the maximum acceleration developed by the tractor loader to move forward on the hill
without tipping over.
3. Justify the motion of the tractor loader case if the hill slope is 37' to the horizontal direction. The
static friction between the wheels and the ground is 0.39
