Interactive Solution 9.1 presents a model for solving this problem. The wheel of a car has a radius of 0.300 m. The engine of the car applies a torque of 222 N·m to this wheel, which does not slip against the road surface. Since the wheel does not slip, the road must be applying a force of static friction to the wheel that produces a countertorque. Moreover, the car has a constant velocity, so this countertorque balances the applied torque. What is the magnitude of the static frictional force?
