The document calculates the torque on the rear axle of a car cornering. It determines that 75% of the car's weight of 80kg + 220lbs of passengers equals 2207.25N. Adding a safety factor of 2 and friction from the tires doubles this to 8829N. With a wheel radius of 0.255m, the torque is calculated as 8829N * 0.255m = 2251.395 Nm.
