Question: Figure 1: Stand Still on Flat Position Figure 2: Downhill Acceleration A vehicle's front axle load is measured as F2 = 8000 N on

Figure 1: Stand Still on Flat Position Figure 2: Downhill Acceleration A

Figure 1: Stand Still on Flat Position Figure 2: Downhill Acceleration A vehicle's front axle load is measured as F2 = 8000 N on a stand still flat measurement setup as in Figure 1. The same vehicle is accelerating on a downhill with an acceleration of a = 5 m/s in Figure 2. a) What should be the total traction force applied on the vehicle for such an accelaration on given conditions? b) What should be the height of center of gravity of the vehicle, if the normal loads of the front and rear axle are equal to each other (Far' = Far') in acceleration on downhill case? Given parameters: m = 1600 kg, L = 2.5 m, 0 = 0.49 rad
