A rear-wheel-drive 3150-lb drag race car has a 230-inch wheelbase and a center of gravity 32 inches above the pavement. If this race car is run on a level paved surface with a coefficient of adhesion of 1.0, how far back from the front axle would the center of gravity have to be to develop a maximum acceleration (of 1.0 g => 32.2 ft/s2) from rest? State your answer in inch, in a form 00.00. (Assume ym = 1.00.)

QUESTION 1
A rear-wheel-drive 3150-lb drag race car has a 230-inch wheelbase and a center of gravity 32 inches
above the pavement. If this race car is run on a level paved surface with a coefficient of adhesion of 1.0,
how far back from the front axle would the center of gravity have to be to develop a maximum acceleration
(of 1.0 g=> 32.2 ft/s2) from rest? State your answer in inch, in a form 00.00. (Assume ym = 1.00.)
