Revisit the calculations done at the beginning of the chapter concerning the determination of the maximum acceleration that can be achieved by a motorcycle without causing the front wheel to lift off the ground. Specifically, construct a new model of the motorcycle by selecting a real-life motorcycle and researching its geometry and inertia properties, including the inertia properties of the wheels. Then analyze your model to determine how the maximum acceleration in question depends on the horizontal and vertical positions of the center of mass with respect to the points of contact between the ground and the wheels. Include in your analysis a comparison of results that account for the inertia of the front wheel with results that neglect the inertia of the front wheel.
