Figure 1. Diagram Showing A Yacht On A Trailer: Ac T Show N Igure I Has A Mass of 8300 KG

A yacht with a mass of 8300 kg is shown on a diagram. Its weight in air is calculated as 8300 * 10 = 83000 N. The minimum number of tires needed to support the yacht on a trailer is calculated as 83000 / 7000 = 11.8, so the trailer should have at least 12 tires.
