The pivot axis is centered on each ski, which are 24 inches in length

It's a competition for engineering students. It's essentially a steel roll cage with a concrete running surface. In my case, there's two fixed skis in the back and two skis in the front that will be able to pivot. I'm trying to figure out how much force it will take to achieve that pivoting

Hello friends, I'm currently working on an engineering competition project known as the Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race, and I'm stuck on some preliminary calculations. I'm trying to calculate the amount of torque that will be required to rotate the front skis in order to turn the...
