The vast majority of replies seems hooked on "Load" and sharing the weight.
Now assuming for one moment DBK.s and the rest are all 100% correct it still doesn't answer the question asked
No one has asked what that load will be, or which axle will carry what , shared or otherwise
Please answer the question
For the purpose of the Formula and Calculations ONLY ------Which axle is used ? (see diagram) and the same question asked by Jim in the original post.
Use anything other than the center of the rear most axle such as the center of the two or the front tandem axle and you will in effect be incorrectly CALCULATING The wrong overhang figure
Over simplified BUT place a 100 Ton down force on the tow ball and the vehicle WILL swivel on its rearmost wheels, and its the distance from the swivel point and the tow bar that is needed for the calculation regardless of what weight it turns out to be or whether its shared or not
