The 3-Mg rear-wheel-drive skid loader has a center of mass at G. Determine the largest number of crates that can be pushed by the loader if each crate has a mass of 500 kg. The coefficient of static friction between a crate and the ground is μs = 0.3, and the coefficient of static friction between the rear wheels of the loader and the ground is μ’s = 0.5. The front wheels are free to roll. Assume that the engine of the loader is powerful enough to generate a torque that will cause the rear wheels to slip.
