The front wheel drive vehicle of mass 2200 kg in Figure 12.35 is dragging an object of mass 250 kg by a rope of length 2 m. The coefficient of friction between the object and the road is µk = 0.5. Assuming that the rope stays taut, calculate the axle loads and the tractive force needed to move the vehicle with an acceleration of 0.1g. Compare FT , Wr, and Wf with their counterparts when the rope is cut and the vehicle no longer drags the object.
