The roadster weighs 2750 lb, its mass is evenly distributed between its front and rear wheels, and it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 7.0 s. If the acceleration is uniform and if the rear wheels do not slip, determine the forces on each of the front and rear wheels due to the pavement. Also determine the minimum coefficient of static friction compatible with this motion. Assume that the mass is evenly distributed between the right and left sides of the car, neglect the rotational inertia of the front wheels, and assume that the front wheels roll freely.
