The bulldozer below has a mass of 10 metric tons and the centre of gravity at G1 is 1 m and drives from rest. It carries a load of 1 metric ton with the centre of gravity G2 3m. The distance from the front wheel to the centre and the rear wheel to the centre is 1,7 m and 0,8 m respectively. Neglect the weight of the wheels. 1)Show all forces acting on the bulldozer 2)Determine the acceleration of the bulldozer neglecting the weight. 3)If the bulldozer increase speed to 15 m/s with a constant acceleration after it travelled 50 m. Calculate the normal force exerted on the front and rear wheels.
