Engin force apply on the rear wheels in back ward direction so friction force oppose it that causes
friction force onthe rear wheels is in the forward direction.
Friction force oppose the motion of the particle, Here front wheel freelyrotated in forward direction so
friction force on the front wheel is inthe backward direction.
Due to friction force 'car' is move, so we can say that friction force on the front wheels has larger
magnitude thanthe frictiononthefront wheels.

The normal force is equal to mg cos u, as there is no acceleration perpendicular to the incline. The
