Question:
Each wheel of an automobile has a weight of 48lb, a diameter of 23 in., and a radius of gyration of 9 in. The automobile travels around an unbanked curve of radius 450 ft at a speed of 65 mi/h, knowing that the transverse distance between the wheels is 4.5 ft, determine the additional normal force exerted by the ground on each outside wheel due to the motion of the car.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
