How does SAI help to return the steering wheel to the center position after a turn?
What will be an ideal response?
When the SAI line is tilted toward the center of the vehicle, the front spindles move through an arc as the front wheels are turned to the right or left. This spindle arc tends to force the front tires into the road surface. Since this action is impossible, the chassis lifts when the front wheels are turned. When the steering wheel is released after a turn, the vehicle weight tends to settle to its lowest point. This action helps to return the front wheels to the straight-ahead position.

Problem 11.31
Randall-Rico Consultants, 5 years ago, purchased for $45,000 a microwave signal graphical plotter for corrosion detection in concrete structures. It is expected to have the market values and annual operating costs shown for its remaining useful life of up to 3 years. It could be traded now at an appraised market value of $8000.

A replacement plotter with new Internet-based, digital technology costs $125,000, has an estimated salvage value of 8% of the purchase price after its 5-year life, and an AOC of 20% of its purchase price. At an interest rate of 15% per year, determine how many more years Randall-Rico should retain the present plotter.
