Stephen is pushing his sister Joyce in a wheelbarrow when it is stopped by a brick 8.00 cm high (Fig. P12.22). The handles make an angle of 15.0° below the horizontal. A downward force of 400 N is exerted on the wheel, which has a radius of 20.0 cm.
(a) What force must Stephen apply along the handles in order to just start the wheel over the brick?
(b) What is the force (magnitude and direction) that the brick exerts on the wheel just as the wheel begins to lift over the brick? Assume in both parts that the brick remains fixed and does not slide along the ground.
