Answer:
a = 9.86 m/s²
Explanation:
given,
distance between the centers of wheel = 156 cm
center of mass of motorcycle including rider = 77.5 cm
horizontal acceleration of motor cycle = ?
now,
The moment created by the wheels must equal the moment created by gravity.
take moment about wheel as it touches the ground, here we will take horizontal distance between them.
then, take the moment around the center of mass. Since the force on the ground from the wheels is horizontal, we need the vertical distance.
now equating both the moment
m g d = F h
d is the horizontal distance
h is the vertical distance
m g d = m a h
term of mass get eliminated
g d = a h
so,
a = 9.86 m/s²
