The airplane’s weight is W = 2400 lb. Its brakes keep the rear wheels locked, and the coefficient of static friction between the wheels and the runway is μs = 0.6. The front (nose) wheel can turn freely and so exerts a negligible friction torce on the runway. Determine the largest horizontal thrust force T the plane s propeller can generate without causing the rear wheels to slip.
