1. (a) Draw a free-body diagram of an automobile of weight \\( W \\) that has a wheel base of length \\( L \\) during four-wheel braking. The center of gravity is a distance \\( \\mathrm{c} \\) forward of the rear axle and a distance of \\( \\mathrm{h} \\) above the ground, The coefficient of friction between the pavement and the tires is \\( \\mu \\). (b) Show that the load carried by the two front tires during breaking with the motor disconnected is equal to \\( W(c+\\mu h) / L \\).
