The driver of the sports car applies his rear brakes and causes the tires to slip. If the normal force on each rear tire is 400 lb and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement is μk = 0.5, determine the average shear stress developed by the friction force on the tires. Assume the rubber of the tires is flexible and each tire is filled with an air pressure of 32 psi.
