a) The rocket car below is thrusting so that at constant thrust (force) , it reaches a velocity of 500 km/hr in 30 seconds. How much thrust is this (kN)?
b) Determine the moment around the front axel M, while thrusting.
c) What are the vertical reaction forces on each tire during the acceleration. (Hint: RL = RP =500(9.8) if the car is not thrusting.)
d) What would the reaction forces be if the thrust engine was located directly behind the center of gravity?
(The thrust is = 1m) (Weight of the rocket = 1000kg) (Distance between two tires at the bottom = 3m)
(From the back tire to the center of the rocket is 1m)
