Consider the tractor shown in . The front wheels are free to roll. The tractor weighs \\( 4700 \\mathrm{lb} \\) and has a center of gravity at \\( G \\). The coefficient of static friction between the rear wheels and the ground is \\( \\mu_{s}=0.5 \\). Figure 1 of 1 Part A Determine the torque \\( M \\) that must be applied by the engine to the rear wheels of the tractor to cause them to slip. Express your answer in kilopound-feet to three significant figures. Enter positive value if the moment is counterclockwise and negative value if the moment is clockwise.
