3. A wheel of mass M has radius R. It is standing vertically on
the floor, and we want to exert a horizontal force F at its
axle so that it will climb a step against which it rests
(Fig. 10-66). The step has height h, where h < R. What
minimum force F is needed?
A ground retaining wall is shown in Fig. 9–36a. The ground,
particularly when wet, can exert a significant force F on the
wall. (a) What force produces the torque to keep the wall
upright? (b) Explain why the retaining wall in Fig. 9–36b
would be much less likely to overturn than that in Fig. 9–36a.
