Question

A garage door is mounted 
on an overhead rail (Fig. P11.81). 
The wheels at A and B have rusted 
so that they do not roll, but rather 
slide along the track. The coefficient 
of kinetic friction is 0.52. The distance between the wheels is 2.00 m, 
and each is 0.50 m from the vertical 
sides of the door. The door is uniform and weighs 950 N. It is pushed 
to the left at constant speed by a horizontal force F
S
, that is applied as shown in the figure. (a) If the distance 
h is 1.60 m, what is the vertical component of the force exerted on each 
wheel by the track? (b) Find the maximum value h can have without
