a certain situation it was estimated that 25% of the braking force was applied to the rear brakes in order for the car to develop the maximum forces required stop the car. If the total braking force developed was 5565 N and the road is wet (u = 0.6), wheelbase of 295 cm and a center of gravity 75 cm above the pavement and 120 cm behind the front axle.
