A 13.45 kN car has a 4735 mm wheelbase, with its center of gravity located 800 mm from the pavement and 1450 mm behind the front axle. Seven people weighing on average 65 kg loaded the vehicle, shifting the center of gravity 135 mm nearer to the rear axle. What is the maximum tractive effort (N) that can be developed if the car is a front wheel drive? Use coefficient of road adhesion= 0.49.
