For the following computer problems, any appropriate software may be used. Input prompts should fully explain what is required of the user (the program should be user-friendly). The resulting output should be well labeled and self-explanatory.
6.25 Write a program that will solve Problem 6.36. User input is to be the angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal (not to exceed 90°), the weight of the block, and the coefficient of static friction.

- 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.arrow_forwardDraw the FBD of the entire frame, assuming that friction and the weights of the members are negligible. How many unknowns appear on this FBD?arrow_forwardA 1.1-kg disk A is placed on the inclined surface. The coefficient of static friction between the disk and the surface is 0.35. Is the disk in equilibrium if P=5.5N and =30?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardThe uniform ladder of weight W is raised slowly by applying a vertical force P to the rope at A. Show that P is independent of the angle .arrow_forwardbody resting on a rough horizontal plane requires a pull of 300 N inclined at 40º to the horizontal plane just to move it. It is found that a push of 150 N inclined at 40o to the x-axis can also make the body to move. Determine the weight of the body and the coefficient of friction.arrow_forward
- The uniform bars shown are joined by a frictionless pin at their tops. Thecoefficient of friction between the bars and the floor is 0.30. What is the value of θ whenmotion spends?arrow_forwardCalculate the force obtained in the larger piston of a hydraulic press if 15 N are applied to the smaller one and the circular pistons have four times the radius of each other. Diagram of the problem, necessary formulas, clearance and numerical solutionarrow_forwardIf a piece of block weighing 150 kg is to be pulled up by a winch using two cables on a 25 deg inclined plane, find the least force each cable will be subjected to set the block in motion. Assume the coefficient of friction to be 0.25.arrow_forward
