Newton's Laws of Motion to Find Mass
Not what you're looking for?
The loaded trailer has a mass of 900 kg with a center of mass at G and is attached at A (see attachment for fig.) to a rear bumper hitch. If the car and trailer reach a velocity of 60 km/hr on a level road in a distance of 30 m from rest with constant acceleration, compute the vertical component of the force supported by the hitch at A. Neglect the small friction force exerted on the relatively light wheels.
