Let the total moment of inertia of the car’s two rear wheels and axle be IR, and let the total moment of inertia of the two front wheels be IF. The radius of the tires is R. and the total mass of the car, including the wheels, is m. If the car’s engine exerts a torque (couple) T on the rear wheels and the wheels do not slip, show that the car’s acceleration is

Strategy: Isolate the wheels and draw three free-body diagrams.
