A Smart Fortwo® car has a mass of 730 kg, which we assume on a flat surface is evenly distributed over its four tires. What is the maximum value of static friction on one tire if the coefficient of static friction between the tire and the road is 0.85? Note: In Iceland, though Smart cars are popular, there are special warnings about where to park them because the local winds can be strong enough to move the cars if they are not sheltered.
