The convergent system of 4 forces acting on an absolutely rigid body is balanced (ΣFKY = 0). Determine the projection of the fourth force on the Oy axis if F1y = 160.0 kN; F2y = -46.0 kN; F3y = 36.0 kN;.
The steering column of the rack-and-pinion steering mechanism lies in the xz-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 F acting at A and B. If the resultant couple acting on the steering mechanism is zero, determine F and the angle (the magnitude and direction of the bearing reactions).
