Two identical chairs, each weighing 14 lb, are stacked as shown. The center of gravity of each chair is denoted by G. The coefficient of static friction is 0.2 at B (the contact point between the chairs) and 0.35 at A, C, and D. Determine the smallest force P that would cause sliding.
The block of weight W is pulled by the force P inclined at the angle to the horizontal. Find the smallest force P and the corresponding angle that would cause impending sliding of the block. The angle of static friction between the block and the ground is s.

The 100lbs cylinder shown in the figure is held at rest by a weight P suspended from a cord wrapped around the cylinder. If slipping impends between the cylinder and the incline, determine P and the coefficient of friction
Block A has a weight of 60 lb and block B has a weight of 10 lb. Neglect friction and the mass of the cord and pulleys. The figure shows a system of pulleys and blocks. Block A is located on an inclined surface with a slope of three-fourths. Block B is vertically suspended by a cord that goes over a pulley located at the top end of the inclined surface. The cord then goes downward and to the left, parallel to the slope, then it goes over a pulley fixed to the upper right end of block A. Then the cord goes upward and to the right parallel to the slope. The end of the cord is fixed to the anchor. Determine the speed of block A after it moves 5.7 ft down the plane, starting from rest.
A heavy cask (full of wine!) sits on an inclined plane. It is held in place by a rope that is attached to the cask and to a hook further up the inclined plane (at A). The rope comes off of the cask tangent to the cask. The mass of the cask is 40 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between the inclined plane and the cask is 0.25. What is the maximum value of θ just before the cask begins to slip? Also, what is the tension in the rope when slipping is impending? Finally, if the inclined plane became icy, and the rope didn’t break as the cask slipped, what would be remarkable about the lines of action of the W, N and T force vectors once equilibrium was re-established?

A ladder, 8 m long and having a mass of 25 kg, rests on a horizontal floor and is supported by a vertical wall. The ladder is inclined 62°, as shown, and starts to slip when a person having a mass of 73 kg has climbed halfway up it. The coefficient of friction at the wall is 0.20. Assume the weight of the ladder to be concentrated at its midpoint. Calculate the coefficient of friction at the floor. - Draw a free-body diagram - Solve most simple way
