- The frictional resistance of a thrust bearing decreases as the shaft and bearing surfaces wear out. It is generally assumed that the wear is directly proportional to the distance traveled by any given point of the shaft and thus to the distance r from the point to the axis of the shaft. Assuming then that the normal force per unit area is inversely proportional to r , show that the magnitude M of the couple required to overcome the frictional resistance of a worn-out end bearing (with contact over the full circular area) is equal to 75 percent of the value given by Eq. (8.9) for a new bearing.arrow_forwardDetermine the maximum value of 'mass M' of the ball provided that the maximum load that each wire in the system can resist is 150N (g: 9.81 m/s^2)arrow_forwardmodified book exercise: Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and Dynamics (8th Edition) chapter 4 and exercise 12 Four boxes are placed on a 17,7 kg uniform wooden plank that rests on two trestles.
