Mass on front axle given position of COG Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mass on Front Axle = Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle/(Wheelbase of Vehicle/Mass of Vehicle)
W_f = c/(b/m)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Mass on Front Axle - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass on Front Axle is the portion of the total mass of the vehicle that is supported by the front axles.
Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle - (Measured in Meter) - Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle is the distance of vehicle's center of gravity (C.G.) form rear axle measured along wheelbase of vehicle.
Wheelbase of Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Wheelbase of Vehicle is the center distance between the front and the rear axle of the vehicle.
Mass of Vehicle - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Vehicle is a quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle: 2210 Millimeter --> 2.21 Meter (Check conversion here)
Wheelbase of Vehicle: 1955 Millimeter --> 1.955 Meter (Check conversion here)
Mass of Vehicle: 115 Kilogram --> 115 Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_f = c/(b/m) --> 2.21/(1.955/115)

Evaluating ... ...

W_f = 130

How does position of centre of gravity effect the car dynamics?

The car’s centre of gravity is significant and impacts dynamics. When a car is driven through a turn the momentum of the vehicle is transferred in the direction of the turn which shifts the centre of gravity. If the centre of gravity is not accurate, the vehicle can roll over on the turn. A wider car wheelbase can be a potential solution to deal with a higher centre of gravity vehicle. During acceleration or braking the centre of gravity acts over the force distribution between the tyres. When a stationary vehicle is accelerated gravity acts downward through the centre of gravity point. Whereas reaction forces of the wheel act upward this creates a balance of force. This balance of force enables the braking system to work when acceleration is reduced. Similarly, when vehicles are provided with acceleration, the centre of gravity balances the air resistance and rolling friction enabling vehicles to move forward. Therefore disturbance in the centre of gravity can impact the overall functioning of the vehicle.
