If it's vertical then the castor point is the red mark as shown and it's exactly the same as the top illustration on Fig. 3. If the axis of rotation is diagonal, like a bike, then the castor point will be to the right of the wheel. | |

| Dec 18, 2021 at 13:47 | comment | added | Abel | want matters is whether the force of friction (applied at the point where wheel contacts ground) can impart a torque (or moment) about the caster's axis of rotation. if the point of ground contact is on the rotation axis, the lever arm is 0 and thus provides no torque. | |
