Homework Statement
A man is pushing the wheelchair having combined mass of 80kg with center of gravity at CG. The mass of each rear wheel is 1.6 kg and moment of inertia 0.1kgm^2. Friction coefficient for all wheels 0.6 . Find maximum acceleration of the wheelchair without slippage between the wheel and ground and without separation of front wheel from the ground. Ind propulsion force applied by hand to make such acceleration.
Homework Equations
Considering separate FBD of one rear wheel the equation of moment about point O can be used.
The Attempt at a Solution
First I considered total force in x -direction:
Ftot = f2-f1=ma to find max acceleration. But to find the propulsion force I don't know which equation is relevant
