With the weight of the car including the driver estimated at 300kg, the front and rear static weights:
Wsf = 148.74kg
Wsr = 151.26kg
FBTf = ma
= 148.74 (8.829)
= 1313.2N

FBTf = ma
= 151.26 (8.829)
= 1335.5N

Using the values found for the master cylinder bores, the braking force needed above can be
calulated.
