Question

"The distance between the front and rear wheels of a 2280 kg car is 3.15 m. The car’s center of gravity lies in the middle of the car, 1.05 m behind the front wheels. When the car is at rest, what is the ratio of the force exerted by the ground on the front wheels to that exerted on the rear wheels?"
