Angle of Outside Lock given Turning Radius of Outer Rear Wheel Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Angle of Outside Wheel Lock = atan(Wheelbase of Vehicle/(Turning Radius of Outer Rear Wheel-(Track Width of Vehicle-Distance between Front Wheel Pivot Center)/2))
θ_out = atan(L/(R_OR-(a_tw-c)/2))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)
atan - Inverse tan is used to calculate the angle by applying the tangent ratio of the angle, which is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side of the right triangle., atan(Number)

Variables Used

Angle of Outside Wheel Lock - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Outside Wheel Lock is the maximum angle at which the outside wheel can turn while steering a vehicle without any obstruction or interference.
Wheelbase of Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Wheelbase of Vehicle is the distance between the center of the front and rear wheels, affecting the vehicle's stability and steering performance.
Turning Radius of Outer Rear Wheel - (Measured in Meter) - Turning Radius of Outer Rear Wheel is the distance from the center of the outer rear wheel to the turning center of the vehicle concerning steering.
Track Width of Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Track Width of Vehicle is the distance between the centerlines of the left and right wheels of a vehicle's steering system.
Distance between Front Wheel Pivot Center - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Front Wheel Pivot Center is the length between the pivot point of the front wheel and the center of the steering system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wheelbase of Vehicle: 2700 Millimeter --> 2.7 Meter (Check conversion here)
Turning Radius of Outer Rear Wheel: 3960 Millimeter --> 3.96 Meter (Check conversion here)
Track Width of Vehicle: 1999 Millimeter --> 1.999 Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance between Front Wheel Pivot Center: 130 Millimeter --> 0.13 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

θ_out = atan(L/(R_OR-(a_tw-c)/2)) --> atan(2.7/(3.96-(1.999-0.13)/2))

Evaluating ... ...

θ_out = 0.728608362785417

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.728608362785417 Radian --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.728608362785417 ≈ 0.728608 Radian <-- Angle of Outside Wheel Lock
