5 ft 2 ft 7 ft The train has a weight of 23000 Ib and a center of gravity at G. It is suspended from its front and rear by a total of six tires. The rear three tires, A, B, and C are shown in the diagram. All surfaces are smooth and it is assumed that the front and rear tires carry equal portions of the weight. For all answers, the sign corresponds to the given coordinate system.
