Suppose a horse leans against a wall as in the figure below. The total mass of the horse and rider is 600kg.
(a)
(b)
a) Calculate the force exerted on the wall assuming that force is horizontal while using the data in the schematic representation of the situation. Note that the force exerted on the wall is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted on the horse, keeping it in equilibrium. The center of gravity is also located a horizontal distance of 0.3 meters from the centre of the two feet as shown above. (2 pt)
b) If the horse is standing with all four legs positioned on a force plate, what would the magnitude of the resultant ground reaction force be in Newtons for this particular scenario. (ignore the ground reaction force acting in the anterior posterior direction) (2 pt)
c) What is the minimum coefficient of friction between the hooves and the ground to prevent the horse from slipping while leaning against the wall? (1 pt)
