A block placed under the head of the claw hammer as shown greatly facilitates the extraction of the nail. If a 62-lb pull on the handle is required to pull the nail, calculate the tension T in the nail and the magnitude A of the force exerted by the hammer head on the block. The contacting surfaces at A are sufficiently rough to prevent slipping. Answers: T = A = 17" i 62 lb i -3" 6.5" 1.75" lb lb

The 40-lb spool is suspended from the hanger GA and rests against a vertical wall. The center of gravity of the spool is at G and the weight of the hanger is negligible. The wire wound around the hub of the spool is extracted by pulling its end with the force P. If the coefficient of static friction between the spool and the wall is 0.25, determine the smallest P that will extract the wire.
Find the largest value of b/h at which the folding table is in equilibrium. The coefficients of static friction are 0.5 at A and 0.3 at C. Neglect the weight of the table.
The homogeneous plate of weight W is supported by a ball-and-socket joint at D and three wires. Draw the FBD of the plate and count the unknowns.
The 40-kghomogeneous disk is placed on a frictionless inclined surface and held in equilibrium by the horizontal force P and a couple C (C is not shown on the figure). Find P and C.
The device shown is an overload prevention mechanism. When the force acting on the smooth peg at D reaches 1.2 kN, the peg will be sheared, allowing the jaws at C to open and thereby releasing the eye-bolt. Determine the maximum value of the tension P that can be applied without causing the eyebolt to be released. Neglect friction.
The coeffient of static friction between the uniform bar AB of weight W and the ground is 0.45. Find the smallest angle and the corresponding force P that would initiate simultaneous tipping and sliding of the bar.
