The 3300 lb front-wheel drive car, which is pulling a 4300 lb trailer, is traveling 60 mph and applies its brakes to come to a stop. Assuming that all four wheels of the car assist in the braking and that μs = 0.85, determine the minimum possible stopping distance and find the forces on all tires as well as the total force acting on the car due to the trailer. Assume that the car and trailer are laterally symmetric. Note that the mass center of the trailer is directly above the axle of the rear wheel.
