Chapter 17.3, Problem 31P
If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the wheels and the road is μk = 0.8, determine the maximum critical height h of the center of gravity G such that the car does not overturn. Tipping will begin to occur after the car rotates 90° from its original direction of motion and, as shown in the figure, undergoes translation while skidding. Hint: Draw a free-body diagram of the car viewed from the front. When tipping occurs, the normal reactions of the wheels on the right side (or passenger side) are zero.

Two bodies A and B, each weighing 96.6 lb, are connected by a rigid bar of negligible weight attached to them at their gravity centers. The coefficient of friction at the wall and floor is 0.268 if the bodies start from rest at the given position, determine the acceleration of B at this instant. Simplify the solution by creating dynamic equilibrium and taking a moment summation about the intersection of the wall and floor reactions. Explain why these reactions pass through the gravity center of B and A respectively.
The man is pedaling his bicycle at a constant speed up a slippery slope of 5%. The man and the bicycle have a total mass of 82 kg centered at G. If the rear wheel is about to slip, find the coefficient of friction u between the tire and the road. If the coefficient of friction were doubled, what friction force would act on the rear wheel? (Why can we neglect the friction under the front wheel?)
