i understand i have severely over simplified the problem at hand.
yes point C is fixed in space and free to rotate (since i am analyzing this "cart" in a static state to keep things simple)
Given the simplified scenario i have presented I am just trying to figure out the resultant vertical...
wheel (radius 3.01) is is not drawn to scale.
I am investigating a very simplified scenario here, looking only at external forces applied to the cart. (ignore friction, cart weight, etc.)
clearer drawing of cart... the green line on the front of the cart is representing a skid plate.
Forgive my current brain fart, but just posting here for some confirmation of my thoughts.
I have a cart with a similar setup to a rear wheel wheelbarrow. Assuming static conditions, I am trying to determine the vertical reaction force (FA) from the ground when applying a horizontal force to...
