Asked by Chris
A car manufacturer claims that you can drive its new vehicle across a hill with a 47 degree slope before the vehicle starts to tip. If the vehicle is 2.0 meter wide, how high is its center of gravity?

The whole deal is drawing the picture.
the wheel is 1 meter down slope from the center line of the vehicle
g is x meters from the road normal to road surface along that center line
so
tan 47 = x/1
x = tan 47 = 1.07 meters
but do not put passengers on the roof. (I am a ship designer :)
