Example: An example of rack and pinion gears can be found in the steering system of a car. In this case, the
        pinion gear is attached to the steering column and rotates as the driver turns the steering wheel. The teeth of
        the pinion engage with the teeth of the rack, which is attached to the steering mechanism.

        As the pinion rotates, the rack moves linearly, translating the rotational motion of the steering wheel into linear
        motion. This linear motion is then used to control the movement of the car’s wheels, enabling steering in the
        desired direction.

        Rack and pinion gears are also widely used in robotics, where they can be employed in linear actuators to control
        the movement  of robot  arms  or  other  robotic  mechanisms.  The  precise control  and mechanical  advantage
        provided by rack and pinion gears make them suitable for various applications that require linear motion
        conversion and accurate motion control.
