A trailer with loaded weight is being pulled by a vehicle with a force as shown in figure. The trailer is loaded such that its center of mass (CM) is located as shown. Ignore the force of rolling friction and let 'a' represent the x component of the acceleration of the trailer. Assume and . What must be the value of "d" so that vertical component of force is equal to zero.
