The indicated location of the center of gravity of the 3910-lb pickup truck is for the unladen condition. If a load whose center of gravity is x = 18 in. behind the rear axle is added to the truck, determine the load weight W for which the normal forces under the front and rear wheels are equal. 44" 63"
