Calculate the horizontal force P required to push the 85-lb lawn mower at constant speed. The center of gravity of the mower is at G, and the coefficients of rolling resistance are 0.12 for the front wheels and 0.18 for the rear wheels.
Please reply as soon as posible, thanks! I don´t have much time:( Static Problem: The spool shown in the figure has a weight of WAB = 27,50 N, and its center of gravity is located at its geometric center O, the spool has a larger radius R=0,17 and an inner radius r=0,13, and it has a coiled rope. Block C has a uniform weight WC= 60 N. Consider the friction between block C and the top of the spool at A, between the spool and the surface at point B and between the rope and pulley D, the friction coefficients are respectively: μs@A=0,30, μs@B =0,45 and μs@D=0,35. The chord is parallel to the plane. Carry out: a) The free-body diagrams of the block and the reel. b) The calculation of the maximum value of P that can be applied without losing the equilibrium of the system.
In order to burgle a local McDonald's, the Hamburglar must climb onto the roof. To do this, a ladder of length 3.31 m and mass 21.2 kg is placed leaning against a vertical wall, as shown in the image below. There is negligible friction between the ladder and the wall, but the same is not true for the ladder and the ground: us ≠ 0 between those two surfaces. Even with that friction, the ladder will start slipping if the angle ø ladder makes relative to the ground is less than 71.0°. Assuming the ladder is uniform (so that its center of gravity is located at its geometric center), what must be the maximum static frictional force (in N) that exists between the bottom of the ladder and the ground? Explain how you solved the problem involving a ladder leaning against a wall. Be sure to state what your known and unknown quantities are, what concepts were applied, and what equations were used!
The front view of a Zenith CH 750 Cruzer airplane named "Mapanikwa" is shown in the figure below. The wing AE is supported by the lift strut BC and is connected to the fuselage by a lug attachment at point A that may be idealized as a pin. The lift strut is a two-force member in equilibrium and is also pin-connected at points B and C. The vertical distance from the pin at A to the pin at C is 1.2 meters. A 1,500 lb upward force caused by the lift generated by the wing is acting at point D. If point B is equidistant from the pin at A and the wing tip E, and if the distance X is equal to 0.5 meters, determine the force supported by the pin at A.
The ladder in the figure rests on a horizontal surface (point A) and a vertical wall (point B). The coefficient of static friction between the ladder and the horizontal surface is ??, while the friction of the ladder with the vertical wall is negligible. Assuming that the center of gravity of the ladder is at half its length, determine the minimum value of ??, to ensure that the ladder remains at rest.
A rigid gate of a flood control structure in a river is 6 m wide by 4 m high and weighs 10 kN. With its longer edge horizontal, it is moved up and down with its short edges sliding in vertical channel guides. Evaluate the force, in kN, needed to raise the gate when the surface of the water is 2 m. above its top edge. There is no water on thedownstream side of the gate. The coefficient of friction between the gate and the channel guides is 0.10. Neglect the buoyant effect of the water on the gate and the weight of the cables connected to the gate.a. 104 b. 94 c. 110 d. 92
