4) The cart has a mass of M, each of the four wheels are discs each with a mass of m/2. The front wheels and their axle are rigidly connected. The rear wheels and their axle are also rigidly connected. If the axles are smooth, determine the velocity of G (the cart's center of mass) as a function of time. Assume that the system starts from rest and that there is enough friction present to prevent the wheels from slipping. M 0° 2 m (each of 4)

Please use the Rigid Bodies method from vector dynamics. 

4) The cart has a mass of M, each of the four wheels are discs each with a mass of m/2. The front wheels and their
axle are rigidly connected. The rear wheels and their axle are also rigidly connected. If the axles are smooth,
determine the velocity of G (the cart's center of mass) as a function of time. Assume that the system starts from
rest and that there is enough friction present to prevent the wheels from slipping.
