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 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-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.
The bar ABC is supported by three identical, ideal springs. Note that the springs are always vertical because the collars to which they are attached are free to slide on the horizontal rail. Find the angle at equilibrium if W = kL. Neglect the weight of the bar.
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. The splines prevent the clutch plate from rotating relative to the output shaft. If Ri=4 in. and R0=9 in., determine the total force that must be applied to the pressure plate by the springs if the clutch is to transmit a torque of C=56lbft when it is new.
The homogeneous 240-lb bar is supported by a rough horizontal surface at A, a smooth vertical surface at B, and the cable BC. Draw the FBD of the bar and count the unknowns.
