a truck’s specifications state that its weight distribution is 53% on the front tires and 47 percent on the rear tires. its wheel base is 2.46 m. how far from the front tires is the truck’s center of mass located?
Weight distribution: 53 % Front tires / 47 % Rear tires R r - the distance between the center of mass and the rear tires, R f - the distance between the center of mass and the front tires 0.47 m · Rr = 0.54 m · Rf /: m 0.47 Rr = 0.54 Rf Rr + Rf = 2.46 m Rr = 2.46 - Rf 0.47 ( 2.46 - Rf ) = 0.54 Rf 1.1562 - 0.47 Rf = 0.53 Rf 0.47 Rf + 0.53 Rf = 1.1562 R f = 1.1562 m
