Hi Altairs!
(I assume that by "view" you mean "on the platform")
Nooo … the total weight of the car is still supported by all four tyres.
You are measuring how much is supported by those two (and the rest of the total weight of course is supported by the other two, and you take the ratio).
(oh … but why take "side view" at all, if the c.o.m. is in the middle?)
Altairs said:When I'll take side view and front view than I'll only be considering the two tyres in view then won't I be assuming that the whole weight of the car is supported by those two tyres ?
