A vehicle with a weight of 1200 kg is initially at rest on an inclined surface of 10° (facing uphill). Assume that the friction coefficient in between the friction surfaces at the clutch is 0.3 and the maximum normal force is 1000 N. If the engine torque at the idle speed is 100 Nm, the first gear and axle drive ratios are both 3, would it be possible for this vehicle to start moving? Assume the tire radius as o.3 m. Explain your answer clearly.
