A car starting from rest moves up an 8% grade at a uniform acceleration attaining a velocity of 67 kph, 75m from the starting point. The car has a resistance force ‘F’ opposite to the direction of motion. The car has a mass of 1800 kg with its center of gravity 0.50 m from the ground and midway between the front and rear wheels. The front and the rear wheels of the car are separated by a distance of 3 m. What is the acceleration of the car in m/s^2? What is the normal reaction at the front wheels of the car in Newtons?
