A vehicle of total weight 49050 N is held at rest on a slope of 10°. It has a wheel base of 2.25 m and its centre of gravity is 1.0 m in front of rear axle and 1.5 m above the ground level. Find  

  1. What are the normal reactions at wheels  
  1.  assuming that sliding does not occur first, what will be the angle of sloe so that the vehicle will overturn?  
  1. Assuming all the wheels are to be braked what will be the angle of slope so that the vehicle will begin to slide if the co-efficient of adhesion between the tyre and the ground is 0.35?
