Answer #1

We know this ,Factor of safety (FOS) , Defined generally as

FOS= Absolute strength / Actual applied load

So, if only vehicle weight is given then it's the actual applied load in the chassis or structure of vehicle.

Now we have to know the strength of vehicle structure, this is generally taken care by the material properties of vehicle structure .

As per the material selection for vehicle we can know the strength of the structure.

As per the weight distribution in the structure of vehicle , calculate FOS .
