Air rushing over the wings of high-performance race cars generates unwanted horizontal air resistance but also causes a vertical downforce, which helps the cars hug the track more securely. The coefficient of static friction between the track and the tires of a 650-kg race car is 0.92. What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration at which the car can speed up without its tires slipping when a 4334-N downforce and an 1160-N horizontal-air-resistance force act on it?
