Initial speed of the three-wheeler is u=36 km/h = 10m/s; final speed v = 0 m/s. Total mass of the system: M = 400 + 65 = 465 kg. According to the first law of motion: v = u + at a = (v-u)/t = (0-10)/4 = -2.5 m/s2 F = Ma = 465 ·(-2.5) = -1162.5 N The negative sign indicates that this force acts against the direction of motion of the three-wheeler.
