A 150-lb block rests on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is 0.30. A pull of 40 lb, acting upward at an angle of 30° to the horizontal, is applied to the block. Determine whether or not the block will slide. - Draw Free-body diagram - Solve most simple way - use the formula Fmax= Ms (N)

The single-plate clutch transmits the torque C from the input shaft on the left to the output shaft on the right. Compression springs between the clutch housing and the pressure plate provide the necessary pressure on the friction surface.
