Weight on Rear Axle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Weight on Rear Axle = (Total Weight being Distributed of Vehicle*CG Distance from Front Axle)/Wheelbase of Vehicle
Wr = (W*CGf)/b
This formula uses 4 Variables
Variables Used
Weight on Rear Axle - (Measured in Kilogram) - Weight on Rear Axle is defined as the total sprung weight of vehicle acting on the rear axle.
Total Weight being Distributed of Vehicle - (Measured in Kilogram) - Total Weight being Distributed of Vehicle is defined as the whole weight of the vehicle that acts on the wheels and axles.
CG Distance from Front Axle - (Measured in Meter) - CG Distance from Front Axle is defined as the horizontal distance of the center of gravity of the vehicle from the front axle.
Wheelbase of Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Wheelbase of Vehicle is the center distance between the front and the rear axle of the vehicle.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Total Weight being Distributed of Vehicle: 10000 Kilogram --> 10000 Kilogram No Conversion Required
CG Distance from Front Axle: 2.2 Meter --> 2.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Wheelbase of Vehicle: 4.4 Meter --> 4.4 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Wr = (W*CGf)/b --> (10000*2.2)/4.4
Evaluating ... ...
Wr = 5000
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
5000 Kilogram --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
5000 Kilogram <-- Weight on Rear Axle

Angular Acceleration of Driven Shaft
Go Angular Acceleration of Driven Shaft = -Angular Velocity of Driven Shaft^2*cos(Angle between Driving and Driven Shafts)*sin(Angle between Driving and Driven Shafts)^2*sin(2*Angle Rotated by Driven Shaft)/((1-cos(Angle Rotated by Driven Shaft)^2*sin(Angle between Driving and Driven Shafts)^2)^2)
Velocity Ratio of Hooke's Joint
Go Velocity Ratio = cos(Angle between Driving and Driven Shafts)/(1-(cos(Angle Rotated by Driving Shaft))^2*(sin(Angle between Driving and Driven Shafts))^2)
Percentage Gradeability of Vehicle
Go Gradeability of Vehicle = (10200*Torque Generated*Overall Gear Reduction)/(Rolling Radius of Loaded Driving Tire*Gross Vehicle Weight)-Percentage Rolling Resistance
Axial Force of Multiplate Clutch using Uniform Wear Theory
Go Total Axial Load = pi*Pressure of Intensity*Inner Diameter of Friction Disc*(Outer Diameter of Friction Disc-Inner Diameter of Friction Disc)*0.5
Aerodynamic Resistance
Go Aerodynamic Resistance of Vehicle = 0.5*Density of Air*Frontal Area of Vehicle*Cruising Speed of Vehicle^2*Coefficient of Drag Exerted by Flow
Drawbar Pull
Go Drawbar Pull = (Torque Generated*Overall Gear Reduction*1000)/Rolling Radius of Loaded Driving Tire-Rolling Resistance at Wheel
Power Required to Propel Vehicle
Go Power required to Propel a Vehicle = (Total Resistance on Vehicle*Speed of Vehicle in Meter per Second)/Transmission Efficiency of Vehicle
Weight on Rear Axle
Go Weight on Rear Axle = (Total Weight being Distributed of Vehicle*CG Distance from Front Axle)/Wheelbase of Vehicle
Total Resistance on Vehicle
Go Total Resistance on Vehicle = Aerodynamic Resistance of Vehicle+Rolling Resistance at Wheel+Gradient Resistance
Effective Gear Ratio
Go Effective Gear Ratio = Old Tire Diameter/New Tire Diameter*Gear Ratio of Transmission
Weight on Front Axle
Go Weight on Front Axle = Total Weight being Distributed of Vehicle-Weight on Rear Axle
Engine Torque
Go Engine Torque = (9.55*Power required to Propel a Vehicle)/Engine Speed in rpm
Gear Step
Go Gear Step = Preceding Lower Gear Ratio Number/Gear Ratio Number
Final Drive Ratio
Go Final Drive Ratio = Rear Gear Ratio*Overdrive Ratio

Weight on Rear Axle Formula

Weight on Rear Axle = (Total Weight being Distributed of Vehicle*CG Distance from Front Axle)/Wheelbase of Vehicle
Wr = (W*CGf)/b

What is the weight acting on rear axle?

Multiply the center of gravity distance times the weight to get the moment for each component and item. Add all of the moments and divide by the wheelbase to get the weight on the rear axle
