A person pushing a uniformly-loaded 53.7 kg wheelbarrow of length L with pushing force P→ is attempting to get it over a step. The maximum horizontal force that the person can apply is Px = 265 N. What is the maximum height h of the step, expressed as a fraction n of the wheel's radius R, that the person can get the wheelbarrow over? The gravitational acceleration is g = 9.81 m/s2. h = R
