Step 1
The mass of each crate is $m_c = 765$ kg. The mass of the pickup truck is $m_t = 1702$ kg. The acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2$. The weight of each crate is $W_c = m_c \times g = 765 \text{ kg} \times 9.8 \text{ m/s}^2 = 7497 \text{ N}$. The Show more…

Problem 1: Two crates, each of mass 780 kg, are placed as shown in the bed of a 1337-kg pickup truck. Assume g = 9.8 m/s^2. Determine the reaction at each of the two rear wheels in N. Determine the reaction at each of the two front wheels in N.

A pickup truck has a wheelbase of 3.00 $\mathrm{m}$ . Ordinarily. $10,780 \mathrm{N}$ rests on the front wheels and 8820 $\mathrm{N}$ on the rear wheels when the truck is parked on a level road. (a) $\mathrm{A}$ box weighing 3600 $\mathrm{N}$ is now placed on the tailgate, 1.00 $\mathrm{m}$ behind the rear axie. How much total weight now rests on the front wheels? On the rear wheels? (b) How much weight would need to be placed on the tail- gate to make the front wheels come off the ground?
