Question

The front wheel suspension of an automobile are shown below. The pavement reacts a vertical force of F = 2760 N on the tire. Determine the forces carried by each of the following: The spring Pin A Pin B Pin D The dimensions on the figure below are: a = 135 mm. b = 260 mm. c = 245 mm. d = 260 mm. e = 48 mm. m = 210 mm. n = 132.5 mm. Hints: Assume the force in the spring acts perpendicular to member AB. Assume member BC is vertical and member CD is horizontal. Treat the chassis of the car as a fixed (stationary) body and the force from the pavement (F) as an external load. It may be easier to solve for the required variables in a different order than they are given, (e.g. You may want to solve (d) before (a).)
