6/15 The four-wheel-drive all-terrain vehicle has a mass of 300 kg with center of mass $G_2$. The driver has a mass of 85 kg with center of mass $G_1$. If all four wheels are observed to spin momentarily as the driver attempts to go forward, what is the forward acceleration of the driver and ATV? The coefficient of friction between the tires and the ground is 0.40. Also determine the combined normal force at the pair of front tires.
