A 3-Mg front-wheel-drive truck (SUV) has a center of mass at G. Determine the maximum mass of the log that can be towed by the truck. The coefficient of static friction between the log and the ground is μs = 0.8, and the coefficient of static friction between the front wheels of the truck and the ground is μ’s = 0.4. The rear wheels are free to roll. Assume that the engine of the truck is powerful enough to generate a torque that will cause the front wheels to slip.
