The truck and crate shown in Figure 1 are resting on an upward 10° incline. The truck has a mass of 1.75 Mg and a center of mass at G. The coefficient of static friction between the wheels and the ground is μw = 0.5, and between the crate and the ground, it is μc = 0.4.
a) Determine the greatest load the truck can move if it has rear-wheel drive while the front wheels are free to roll.
b) Determine the greatest load the truck can move if it has four-wheel drive.
