Practice Problem 4.4.9: The centers of gravity of the 50- kg lift truck and the 120-kg box are at G1 and G2, respectively. The truck must be able to negotiate the 5-mm step when the pushing force P is 600 N. Find the smallest allowable radius of the wheel at A. Be sure to check G2 1200 G whether the truck will tip. |-375- - 500 1200
