Answer:


Fr=12544N

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the equation of eht maximal friction force:

The maximal friction force is given by the equation
Fr=usmg, where μs is the static friction coefficient, m is the car´s mass and g is the gravitational force.

2. Replace values in the equation to find the answer:


Fr=0.8*1600kg*9.8(m)/(s^(2))


Fr=12544N
