the driver of a car on a horizontal road makesan emergency stop by applying the brakes so that all four wheelslock and skid along the road.The coefficient of kinetic friction betweentires and road is 0.40.The separation between the front andrear axles is L = 4.2 m, and the center of mass of the car is locatedat distance d =1.8 m behind the front axle and distance h = 0.75 mabove the road. The car weighs 11 kN. Find the magnitude of (a)the braking acceleration of the car, (b) the normal force on eachrear wheel, (c) the normal force on each front wheel, (d) the brakingforce on each rear wheel, and (e) the braking force on eachfront wheel. (Hint: Although the car is not in translational equilibrium,it is in rotational equilibrium.)
