How to calculate the forcee needed to turn steering wheel in a rack and pinion steering system ??
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The force will be determined by tyre pressure, tyre contact with the road, the vehicle speed and the rate of change of direction.
There will be a mechanical advantage ratio proportional to (pinion radius) / (steering arm length * steering wheel radius).
