A simplified model of a bicycle of mass M has two tires that each comes into contact with the ground at a point. The wheel base of this bicycle is JV, and the centre of mass C of the bicycle is located mid way between the tires and a height h above the ground.The bicycleis moving to the right,but slowing down at a constant acceleration a. Air resistance may be ignored. Assuming that the coefficient of sliding friction between each tyre and the ground is mu and that both tyres are skidding (sliding without rotating). Express your answer in terms of w,h,M and g . What is the maximum value of a so that both tyres remain in contact with the ground ?

Two contours whose planes are parallel to each other and are separated by a certain distance carry currents that flow in the same direction. One contour is left fixed while the other is positioned in a different manner with respect to the first: in one case its plane is turned by 90^@ , in the other by 180^@ , while in the third case it is just moved parallel to itself over a certain distance. In which of these three eases one will have to perform the greatest work and in which, the smallest?
