A two-wheel-drive tractor has static axle weights3 kN front and 9 kN rear, wheelbase2.1 m and pull7.5 kN. Perpendicular distance from the front ground-contact point to the pull line is 680 mm. Ignore ground-contact offsets. Find rearward weight transfer in kN, to two decimals.
The pull generates moment $7.5(.680)=5.10$ kN m about the front contact. The balancing transfer over 2.1 m is $\Delta W=5.10/2.1=\mathbf{2.43}$ kN. Rear load becomes11.43 kN and front load .57 kN. The requested quantity is the transferred load, not the final rear reaction.
