Problem set 2 -week 3 challenge : Anti-Characteristics

1, Calculate the following parameters

• Front end deflection under load.
• Rear end deflection under load.
• Pitch angle.
• Pitch gradient.

2, Use the IC location information to calculate the following

• Front anti-lift angle.
• Rear anti-squat angle.
• Front swing arm angle for 100% anti-lift.
• Rear swing arm angle for 100% anti-squat.
• Front anti-lift %.
• Rear anti-lift %

3, To eliminate the pitch angle (theoretically), keep the rear swing arm height fixed at 16 inches from the contact patch. Calculate the following (12 points)

• Front anti-lift % and rear anti-squat % for zero pitch angle.
• Front end deflection under load, accounting for the new anti characteristics.
• Rear end deflection under load, accounting for the new anti characteristics.
• Pitch angle, accounting for the new anti characteristics (verify that it is indeed zero)
