You are to design a 10 tonne mobile factory for deployment on the Moon (note that g=1.62 m/s2 on the Moon) assuming the following lunar soil parameters: Density Soil Friction Modulus of Modulus of (kg/m?) cohesion angle cohesion of friction of (Pa) (0) soil soil deformation, deformation, kc (N/m"+1) ku (N/mn+2) 1520 170 35 1400 820000 Soil deformation exponent, n 1.0 Lunar regolith
2. Compute the mean-free path assuming that the South Pole Aitken Basin has a rock distribution similar to that of the exponential representation of the Mars VL2 site (KvL2=0.176, qvL2=2.73), that the dimensions of the 10 tonne mobile factory are 3m width by 7m length with a obstacle negotiation capability of 0.5 m (one wheel diameter).
