Question:
The tires of the 4555-lb sedan are 6.5 in. wide (Figure P5.10). Each tire contacts the ground over a distance of 4.25 in. as measured along the vehicle’s length. Calculate the compressive stress between each tire and the road. The locations of the vehicle’s mass center and the wheelbase dimensions are shown.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
