Weight distrbution on three wheeled vehicle

[Inquisitive]

From a given vehicle weight and knowing its cg position how do I calculate the vehicle wheel loads. Finding the cg position from wheel loads is easy but I am struggling to do the reverse. Simple mechanical statics from my school days perhaps.

Inquisitive,

Indeed, simple statics is all you need. Draw the FBD and it should be clear.
