Knowing the value of elevation of the axle S, the value of the elevation angle α can
easily be obtained, as the wheelbase WB is also known:
Subsequently, using the equations of static equilibrium:

It is necessary to verify that the data obtained by calculation is within the limits
allowed by the standard as well as within the values supplied by this manual.
