After the car reaches $100$ km$/$h the driver immediately steps on the brakes and comes to a stop in $2\mathrm{.}55$ s $.$ The brakes are at a distance $15\mathrm{.}9$ cm from the center of the wheel and the force they apply acts in the ydirection. Assume for this problem that the brakes apply an equal force to each wheel, that the torque to the rear wheels is zero and that the wheels continue to rotate until the car stops. Calculate the magnitude of the force, Fb $,$ exerted by the brakes on each wheel during this time.

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
