A four-wheeled vehicle of total mass 5000 kg has two pairs of wheels of 500 mm radius. Each pair of wheels with axles has mass of 750 kg, the radius of gyration of each wheel being 400 mm. The axles are 2 metres apart and the c.g. of vehicle is mid-way at a height of 1-2 m above the road surface. Find the reactions of the front and rear wheels, if tractive force of 5kN is acting 50 mm below the centre of gravity of vehicle.

A four-wheeled vehicle of total mass 5000 kg has two pairs of wheels of 500 mm radius. Each pair of wheels with axles has mass of 750 kg, the radius of gyration of each wheel being 400 mm. The axles are 2 metres apart and the c.g. of vehicle is mid-way at a height of 1-2 m above the road surface. Find the reactions of the front and rear wheels, if tractive force of 6 kN is acting 50 mm below the centre of gravity of vehicle.
