E. In a science fiction story about space exploration an expedition to Mars was described. The space ship landed in a rocky valley and the astronauts promptly prepared their vehicle for a trip on the planet's surface. This special vehicle was designed with big inflated tires. On the very first steep slope the vehicle tipped over. They did have small steel balls onboard to increase traction. They thought of suspending a bunch of them beneath the vehicle to lower its center of gravity, but that would decrease the clearance and cause the weights to strike rocks and the ground more often How could it be done?
