Answer

The braking force on each rear wheel is $~~960~N$

Work Step by Step

In part (b), we found that the normal force on each rear wheel is $~~F_N = 2400~N$ We can find the braking force on each rear wheel: $F = F_N~\mu_k$ $F = (2400~N)(0.40)$ $F = 960~N$ The braking force on each rear wheel is $~~960~N$
