A 1 530-kg automobile has a wheel base (the distance between the axles) of 2.70 m. The automobile's center of mass is on the cen

NeTakaya

Answer:

Force on front axle = 6392.85 N

Force on rear axle = 8616.45 N

Explanation:

As we know that the weight of the car is balanced by the normal force on the front wheel and rear wheels

Now we know that

$F_1 + F_2 = W$

$F_1 + F_2 = (1530\times 9.81)$

$F_1 + F_2 = 15009.3 N$

now we know that distance between the axis is 2.70 m and centre of mass is 1.15 m behind front axle

so we can write torque balance about its center of mass

$F_1(1.15) = F_2(2.70 - 1.15)$

$F_1 = 1.35 F_2$

now from above equation

$F_2 + 1.35F_2 = 15009.3$

now we have

$F_2 = 6392.85 N$

now the other force is given as

$F_1 = 8616.45 N$
