The ratio between the width of the front axle and that of the wheel base of a steering mechanism is 0.44. At the instant when the front inner wheel is turned by 18°, what should be the angle turned by the outer front wheel for perfect steering?
[Take cot18° = 3.078, cot16° = 3.487, cot20° = 2.747]

Detailed Solution: Question 8


∴  

From the given data, we can see that φ should be closer to 16° and best possible option is (a).

Test: Mechanism With Lower Pairs - 1 - Question 10
Save

A Hook’s joint is used to connect

Detailed Solution: Question 10

A Hook’s joint, commonly known as a universal joint is used to connect two non-parallel and intersecting shafts. It is also used for shafts with angular misalignment. A common application of this joint is in an automobile where it is used to transmit power from the gear box (of the engine) to the rear axle.
