- 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 single-threaded screw of the floor jack has a pitch of 0.5 in. and a mean radius of 1.75 in. The angle of static friction is 8.5. (a) Determine the couple C that must be applied to the screw to start lifting a weight of 4000 lb. (b) What is the couple required to start lowering the weight?arrow_forwardThe two uniform sheets of plywood, each of length L and weight W, are propped as shown.

- The two homogeneous bars AB and BC are connected with a pin at B and placed between rough vertical walls. If the coefficient of static friction between each bar and the wall is 0.25, determine the largest angle 6 for which the assembly will remain at rest.arrow_forwardThe square-threaded screw 0f the C-clamp has a mean diameter of 8 mm and a pitch of 1.6 mm. The coefficient of static friction between the threads is 0.2. If the torque C=1.50Nm is used to tighten the clamp, determine (a) the clamping force; and (b) the torque required to loosen the clamp.arrow_forwardThe rope running over two fixed cylinders carries the 4-kg mass at one end.
