if you wanted maximum braking, where would you sit?

if you could position your center of gravity anywhere, to ensure
maximum braking power, where would it be?

obviously over the front wheel is no good, you would flip.

there is a point, leaning either ahead of the front wheel, or
behind the back wheel, that the opposite wheel is off the ground.

clearly those are 2 limits, the answer must lie between them.

if there were very little friction, it would hardly matter.

assume a level road, brakes that can cause a skid no matter what.

ok, so where do you sit?

state assumptions, like coefficient of friction between tire and road,
weight of bike and rider.

show your work.

now for extra credit, make it a function of road slope.

wle.
