A block with a mass of 0.350kg is placed on a rough planar surface that is inclined 30° above the horizontal. The maximal coefficient of static friction 0.25 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.12. If the block is released from rest, what acceleration does it experience?
The upper end of a wide-skid W 8 × 21 steel column (E = 30 × 103 ksi) is supported laterally between two tubes (see figure). The tubes are not attached to the column and the friction between the tubes and the column is not reliable. The base of the column provides fixed support and the column is 13 ft long. Determine the critical load for the column, consider the Euler buckling in the web plane and also perpendicular to the web plane.
A man of weight W is on the top of a symmetric two-legged ladder, which is standing on a horizontal surface, as it is shown in the figure. The length of the ladder is L. There is a chain of length a, attached between the bottom third points of the legs, which prevents the collapse of the ladder.
(a) Determine the tension T in the chain assuming that the floor is very slippery.
(b) Determine the minimal static friction coefficient forwhich the ladder does not collapse even without thechain.
In both cases calculate with symbols, and give the numerical result for L = 5 m, W = 800 N, a = 1.5 m.
