Question
2.81 The steering column of the rack-and-pinion steering mechanism lies in the
z-plane. The tube AB of the steering gear is attached to the automobile chassis at
A and B. When the steering wheel is turned, the assembly is subjected to the four
couples shown: the 3-N - m couple applied by the driver to the steering wheel, two
1.8-N - m couples (one at each wheel), and the couple formed by the two forces
of magnitude Facting at A and B. If the resultant couple acting on the steering
mechanism is zero, determine Fand the angle e (the magnitude and direction of
the bearing reactions).
