A single axis personal transport device starts from rest withthe rider leaning slightly forward. Together, the two wheels weigh25 lbs, and each has a radius of 10 in. The mass moment of inertiaof the wheels

about the axle is 0.15 slug ft2. The combined weightof the rest of the device and the rider (excluding the wheels) is200 lbs, and the center of gravity G of this weight islocated at x = 4 in. in front of the

axle A and y = 36 in. above the ground. Aninitial clockwise torque M is applied by the motorto the wheels. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are0.7 and 0.6, respectively.
