A rope having a weight per unit length of 0.4 lb/ft is wound 2 1/2 Times around a horizontal rod. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the rope and the rod is 0.30, determine the minimum length x of rope that should be left hanging if a 100-lb load is to be supported.
From mechanics of materials it is known that when a static load P is applied at the end B of a uniform metal rod fixed at end A, the length of the rod will increase by an amount δ=PL/AE, where L is the length of the undeformed rod, A is its cross- sectional area, and E is the modulus of elasticity of the metal. Knowing that L = 450 mm and E = 200 GPa and that the diameter of the rod is 8 mm, and neglecting the mass of the rod, determine (a) the equivalent spring constant of the rod, (b ) the frequency of the vertical vibrations of a block of mass m = 8 kg attached to end B of the same rod.

- 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_forwardFrom mechanics of materials, it is known that for a simply supported beam of uniform cross section, a static load P applied at the center will cause a deflection of δA=PL3/48 EI, where L is the length of the beam, E is the modulus of elasticity, and I is the moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area of the beam. Knowing that L = 15 ft, E = 30 × 106 psi, and I = 2 × 10 3ft4, determine (a) the equivalent spring constant of the beam, (b) the frequency of vibration of a 1500-lb block attached to the center of the beam.
