FL: Lateral force caused to act on lower arm by force F
When the equilibrium of moments established at point A in
the illustration is considered, the following formulas hold true.
Fu . L2 = F .L,
Fu = F . L1/L2
Also, when the equilibrium of moments established at point
B is considered, the following formulas hold true.
FL . L2 = F . &I + L2)
/ FL = F .(L, + L2)/L2
id Assume that L2 = L1 in the case of the low-mounted upper
Fu arm and that L2 = 2L1 in the case of the high-mounted upper
arm. Then theFu and FL are expressed as follows:

-Point A , Fu = F . L,/2L1
FL = 0.5F
FL = F .3L,/2L,
12X0166 = 1.5F
In the case of the high-mounted upper arm, as evident from
the above, smaller camber affecting forces are input in both
upper and lower arms.
