The car rests on four scales and in this position the scale readings of both the front and rear tires are shown by FA and FB. When the rear wheels are elevated to a height of 3 ft above the front scales, the new readings of the front wheels are also recorded. Use this data to compute the location x and y to the center of gravity G of the car. The tires each have a diameter of 1.98ft.

9.40 ft- = 1129 lb + 1168 Ib = 2297 lb FA

9.40 ft- = 1129 lb + 1168 Ib = 2297 lb FA Fr = 975 Ib + 984 lb = 1959 lb 3.0 ft = 1269 lb + 1307 Ib = 2576 lb FA
