AI Thread Summary
A 2000kg mass on a 30-degree incline is in static equilibrium with a force F applied uphill. The center of mass is 2m above the incline, with the front wheel 1m and the rear wheel 2m from the center of mass. To determine force F, the total load on the front wheels, and the total load on the rear wheels, relevant equations of static equilibrium must be applied. Participants are encouraged to show their work and calculations for clarity. This problem emphasizes the importance of understanding forces and moments on inclined planes.

Homework Statement


A mass of 2000kg is on a 30 degree incline
the mass is in static equilibrium
a force F is applied to the mass (uphill) from the front of the mass
the front wheel is 1m away from the centre of mass
the rear wheel is 2m away from the centre of mass
the center of mass is 2m above the incline
the force F is 1m below the center of mass

Calculate force F
calculate the total load on the front wheels
calculate the total load on the rear wheels
