If couple forces of F=35 N are applied to the handle of the machinist’s vise, determine the compressive force developed in the block. Neglect friction at the bearing A. The guide at B is smooth. The single square-threaded screw has a mean radius of 6 mm and a lead of 8 mm, and the coefficient of static friction is, μs = 0.27.

- The 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 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.

If a 34-lb force acting on the bridle is sufficient to restrain the horse, determine the smallest safe length L for the free end of the rein.arrow_forwardM. 0.3 m The block brake is used to stop the wheel from rotating when the wheel is subjected to a couple moment. Determine the smallest force P that should be applied as well as the magnitude of the corresponding reaction force at support C. Use the couple moment Mo = 430 N-m, the coefficient of static friction between the wheel and the block of 0.6, a = 1.8 m, b = 0.8 m, and c = 0.075m. Round all answers to the nearest integer.
