⚡ Mecademy AIENG정역학 · ch4  Problem Statement A double-axle suspension for use on small trucks is shown in the figure. The mass of the central frame is , and the mass of each wheel and attached link is with center of mass from the vertical centerline. For a load transmitted to the frame , compute the total shear force supported by the pin at . Problem 4/105 (a) Calculation of the total shear force supported by the pin at ● Calculation Process 1. Present Final Formula: First, we determine the ground reaction on each tire by considering the equilibrium of the entire system. Then, we analyze the free-body diagram of one wheel-link assembly to find the pin reaction at . Taking moments about the frame support point (located at from the centerline) allows us to eliminate that unknown force. where: is the upward normal force from the ground. is the weight of one wheel and link assembly. is the vertical reaction at pin . are the horizontal distances from the vertical centerline. 2. Substitute Values: Given values: , , , . Horizontal positions: , , , .
