How weight transfer occurs during braking?

The inertial force acts at the centre of gravity of the vehicle, while the retarding force due to the application of brakes acts at the road surface. These two forms an overturning couple. This overturning couple increases the perpendicular force between the front wheels and ground by an amount, while the perpendicular force between rear wheels and ground is decreased by an equal amount. Some of the vehicle weight is thus transferred from the rear to the front axle.

How the braking distribution occurs among front and rear brakes?

It is observed that in vehicles either the distribution of weight over the two axles is equal, or the front axle carries more weight, the braking effect has to be more at the front wheels for efficient braking. It is seen that in general for achieving maximum efficiency, about 75% of the total braking effect should be on front wheels. However, in such case the trouble would arise while travelling over wet road where hight braking effect at the front would cause skidding of front wheels, because of decrease of weight transfer. In practice, about 60% of the braking effort is applied on the front wheels.
