A caravan weighs 28 kN. It has a wheel base of 2 m, track width 1m and height of C.G. 300 mm above the ground level and lies midway between the front and rear axle. The engine flywheel rotates at 2950 rpm clockwise when viewed from the front. The moment of inertia of the flywheel is 4 kg-m 2 and moment of inertia of each wheel is 3 kg-m 2 . Find the reactions between the wheels and the ground when the car takes a curve of 15 m radius towards right at 30 km/h, taking into consideration the gyroscopic and the centrifugal effects. Each wheel radius is 400 mm.

Question

A caravan weighs 28 kN. It has a wheel base of 2 m, track width 1m and height of
C.G. 300 mm above the ground level and lies midway between the front and
rear axle. The engine flywheel rotates at 2950 rpm clockwise when viewed from the
front. The moment of inertia of the flywheel is 4 kg-m 2 and moment of inertia of
each wheel is 3 kg-m 2 . Find the reactions between the wheels and the ground when
the car takes a curve of 15 m radius towards right at 30 km/h, taking into
consideration the gyroscopic and the centrifugal effects. Each wheel radius is 400 mm.
