Answer:
Explanation:
The torque applied on an object can be calculated by the following formula:
where,
T = Torque
F = Applied Force
r = radius of the wheel
For car wheel:
For truck wheel:
Dividing both:
for the same force applied on both wheels:
where,
rt = radius of the truck steering wheel = 0.25 m
rc = radius of the car steering wheel = 0.19 m
Therefore,
