Homework Statement
A woman pedals her bicycle up a 8-percent grade on a slippery road at a steady speed. The woman and bicycle have a combined mass of 76 kg with mass center at G. If the rear wheel is on the verge of slipping, determine the coefficient of friction μs between the rear tire and the road. If the coefficient of friction were doubled, what would be the friction force F acting on the rear wheel? (Why may we neglect friction under the front wheel?)
