Students have asked these similar questions

Two bodies A and B, each weighing 96.6 lb, are connected by a rigid bar of negligible weight attached to them at their gravity centers. The coefficient of friction at the wall and floor is 0.268 if the bodies start from rest at the given position, determine the acceleration of B at this instant. Simplify the solution by creating dynamic equilibrium and taking a moment summation about the intersection of the wall and floor reactions. Explain why these reactions pass through the gravity center of B and A respectively.

The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drum and brake bar are μS= 0.4 and μK= 0.3, respectively. If M= 50 N.m and P= 85 N. determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pin O (shown in Fig. 3). Neglect the weight and thickness of the brake. The drum has a mass of 25 kg.

The body A with a mass of 50 kg is in equilibrium with the help of the pulling force generated in the AB and AC cables in the middle of the inclined plane and the friction force between the curved surface and the object. The friction force is on the line of motion of body A and develops in the opposite direction to the movement in the direction of the arrow shown in the drawing. Since the pulling force in AB and AC cables is 15.1 and 22.1 N, respectively, calculate the balancer friction force acting on the object vectorially? (g = 9.81 m / s'2)
