Question

Distinguish between reversible steering and irreversible steering. Sketch a typical

steering gear box and name its components. A vehicle with the wheel base = 2.1 m and

front wheel track = 1.22m is provided with Ackermann steering system. The distance

from the centre plane of each front wheel to the nearest kin pin is 0.11 m while taking a

turn the inner wheel is deflected through a maximum angle of 42 deg. Calculate the

corresponding deflection of the outer front wheel, assuming that all wheels are in true

rolling motion. Also find the turning radius of the outer front wheel. (May /June 2013).​
