You start by measuring the 60-0 mph braking performance, which is accomplished along 30.56 m. The test weight (including the driver) was found to be 1510.5 kgf. After the braking test, you are asked to determine the maximum acceleration in the first gear. Consulting the manufacturer, you find out the following technical data: Table 1 - Technical data for the Corvette Z06 480 lbf-ft Peak torque (@4800 rpm) 1st gear reduction Final drive (differential) reduction Rolling radius of the rear tyres % weight on the rear tyres 2.66 3.42 0.327 m 65% 1) Assuming the maximum traction capacity of the tyres has been determined in the braking test, CALCULATE the maximum traction generated by the rear tyres in first gear. CALCULATE the available thrust force (i.e. traction) from the torque on the wheels.
