In general, it is not always the case that weight is distributed evenly among all wheels on a vehicle. More weight is placed on the wheels that the weight is closer to.

In most vehicle designs, a greater weight is put on the drive wheels for greater efficiency and handling. At the same time, a sufficient weight must be placed on the front wheels for steering traction.

When loading a truck, the cargo load is often centered over the rear axle, which will makes the rear wheels support the entire cargo weight.

HOW MUCH DOES A YARD OF ITEM 4 WEIGH?

A yard of Item 4 typically weighs around 2,700 to 3,000 pounds, depending on the density and moisture content of the material.


If the tires of a car are inflated to 35 pounds per square inch and the car weighs 2500 pounds how much surface area is in contact with the ground?

The surface area in contact with the ground can be calculated using the formula: surface area = weight / tire pressure. Plugging the values in (2500 pounds / 35 psi) gives a surface area of approximately 71.43 square inches in contact with the ground.


Can a 2hp 4poles ac induction motor carry 300kgs of weight?

It would depend on the efficiency and design of the motor, as well as the operating conditions such as load distribution and friction. In general, a 2HP 4-pole motor may not have enough torque to lift 300kg vertically, but it could potentially move the weight horizontally on wheels or a conveyor. It's important to consider the motor's continuous duty rating and consult with a mechanical engineer for a more accurate assessment.


Why trucks have eight tires instead of four?

Trucks have eight tires instead of four to distribute the weight of the load more evenly and reduce the pressure on the individual tires. This helps with stability, traction, and handling when carrying heavy loads. Having eight tires also increases the overall load capacity and allows for better weight distribution.

Why double wheel provided at the rear of the truck?

wheels at the back push the vehicle forward. 4 wheels at the back provides twice friction against the road making the chance to slip due to it's own weight fairly low. these type of vehicles needs these extra set of wheels especially on rainy days. the front wheels need not to add an extra pair because they are needed to maneuver the vehicle and would make it harder to turn with 4 wheels in front (i can only say that someone can possibly build a vehicle with 4 wheels in front by a custom build if he wants it. also no car factory has ever done a vehicle with 4 wheels in front) heavier loads requires more wheels at the back and middle as to distribute the weight of the axle load. -arvinkasumi

Will a car go faster if it has smaller front wheels and bigger back wheels?

It depends on what type of racing you intend on doing. A typical 1/4 mile drag rear wheel drive car would have larger rear wheels for traction and smaller front wheels for less weight but this is only useful for the 1/4 mile RWD drag racing.
