- The 600-lb cable spool is placed on a frictionless spindle that has been driven into the ground. If the force required to start the spool rotating is F = 160 lb, determine the coefficient of friction between the ground and the spool. Neglect the diameter of the spindle compared to the diameter of the spool.arrow_forwardThe two uniform sheets of plywood, each of length L and weight W, are propped as shown. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.5 at all three contact surfaces, determine whether the sheets will remain at rest.arrow_forwardThe single-threaded screw of the floor jack has a pitch of 0.5 in. and a mean radius of 1.75 in.
