Design and Development of Weight Distribution of Trailer by using Hitch

In this project, the main objective is to let the student make their own project based on their own idea. We have to make a small model of weight distribution of trailer to study the various effects and loads acts on trailer. The main purpose is to reduce the swaying while applying load during running condition. This weight distribution system is used to decrease sag at the back of the vehicle when a trailer is attached and to transfer the tongue weight of the trailer to the vehicle and trailer axles, making the hitch able of higher trailer towing capacities. A weight distribution system should be used every time the trailer weight is greater than 50 percent of the tow vehicle weight. We have to show the weight distribution concept in small model. A vehicle which relies on gravity in several ways, weight distribution directly affects a variety of characteristics including handling, acceleration, grip, and parts life. For this reason, weight distribution varies with the vehicles proposed usage. For example, drag cars capitalize on traction at the rear axle while countering the reactionary pitch-up torque. It generates this counter-torque by placing a small amount of counterweight at a great distance forward of the rear axle. Through project we have to show the concept of weight distribution for better and easy to understand, to know what the actual purpose is, the main advantage of this system is to reduced swaying.
