The 1.6-Mg car shown has been “raked” by increasing the height h = 0.2 m of its center of mass. This was done by raising the springs on the rear axle. If the coefficient of static friction between the rear wheels and the ground is s = 0.3, show that the car can accelerate slightly faster than its counterpart for which h = 0. Neglect the mass of the wheels and driver and assume the front wheels at B are free to roll while the rear wheels slip.
