Determine the horizontal and vertical components of force that the pins at A and B exert on the frame. 4.1 The magnitude of the horizontal component Ax at the hinged support A is Blank 1 kN. 4.2 The magnitude of the vertical component Ay at the hinged support A is Blank 2 kN. 4.3 The magnitude of the horizontal component Bx at the hinged support B is Blank 3 kN. 4.4 The magnitude of the vertical component By at the hinged support B is Blank 4 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.
