A uniform wheel of 600 mm diameter, weighing 5 kN rests against a rigid rectangular block of 150 mm of height. Find the least pull, through the centre of the wheel, required just to turn the wheel over the corner A of the block. Also find the reaction on the block. Take all the surfaces to be smooth.
