Answer

The normal force on each front wheel is $~~3100~N$

Work Step by Step

In part (b), we found that the total normal force on the rear wheels is $4714~N$ The sum of the normal forces on the rear wheels and the front wheels is equal to the car's weight. We can find the normal force on each front wheel: $2~F_N+4714~N = 11,000~N$ $F_N = \frac{11,000~N-4714~N}{2}$ $F_N = 3100~N$ The normal force on each front wheel is $~~3100~N$
