Three-wheel and four-wheel all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are shown. For both ATVs. the combined weight of the driver and vehicle is W = 2600 N. During a hard turn, the tendency for the ATV to tip is modeled* by the force F, which acts in the negative y direction. Determine the value of F such that the resultant moment of F and the weight about line AB is zero. Comment on which ATV is more prone to tip during hard turns. Note: One of these models of ATV is no longer manufactured because of its poor safety record.
