(1) A vertical component of 2.25 times the static load on the wheel; and 

(2) A forward component of 0.4 times the vertical component. 

(b) For side loads, the limit force components at ground contact must be: 

(1) A vertical component of 2.25 times the static load on the wheel; and 

(2) A side component of 0.7 times the vertical component.
