A steering system of a car operates on the Ackermann steering gear. The wheel base of the car is 4.25 m and the distance between the pivots of the front axle is 1.9 m. The car is turning around a curved road such that the angle subtended by the axis of the outer wheel is 21°. For correct steering, find the required value of the angle of inclination between the longitudinal axis of the car and the arms of the bell-crank levers of the Ackermann linkage.

The helicopter below features a pair of counter-rotating rotors that provide stability and lift. The forces FA and FB lie in the xy plane, and aд and a represent angles about the z-axis. The helicopter's engine thrust produces forces Fc and FD, whose lines of action act in the y direction. Forces QA and QB are lift forces developed by the rotors, which act in the z-direction. Moments MA and M³ result from the rotation of the rotors and are directed in the ±z direction, as shown. Points A, B, C, and are located on the lines of action of the given forces and moments. Note that point D is located on the opposite side of the helicopter and is not visible in the figure.

There is a pirate ship in the harbor which features a large, cast iron wheel that is used to steer the ship. As shown in the figure above, this wheel features spokes with a length of R = 0.83 meters, configured as shown. Star symbols indicate specific points on the wheel (labelled A, B, C, D, and E). The moment of inertia of this wheel is I = 12.2 kg⋅m2.The wheel spins around a gear mechanism attached at its center. The gear mechanism has sufficient resistance (due to friction and other factors) that anyone trying to turn the wheel feels a counter-torque of τres = 10 N⋅m. After the wheel begins moving, a constant resisting torque of τres = 10 N⋅m is still felt. Someone applies a a tourque of 33.7N*mvto the wheel for five seconds, if the wheel starts at rest what is it anuglar momentum after five seconds? If the wheel is now spinning at 1 rad/sec what is the magnitude of the tourque to keep it spinning? What is the total kinetic magnitude of the wheel ( the mass is 4kg)
