Question:

What is the approximate rear weight of a Car (for example a Maruti 800) ?

Assume that a strong guy would like to lift the back part of the car.

Answer:

Go to a Truck stop. Pull the thing on a cat scale with the back half on the scale and then get the ticket and you will have the exact weight(of the back of the car). Or split the cars weight over the back scales (where the tandems go) this will give you the front and back weights. Great for figuring out front to back weight ratio. Just do it around like 2am or around 10 am(whenever the truck stop is not really busy). To Avoid messing with Drivers schedules. Having someone inside while you scale will help speed it up. Goodluck
for a real challenge lift the front of the car!
