A cylinder having a mass of 250 kg is to be supported by the cord that wraps over the pipe. Determine the largest vertical force F that can be applied to the cord without moving the cylinder. The cord passes (a) once over the pipe, β = 180°, and (b) two times over the pipe, β = 540°. Take, μs = 0.2.

- A 50-m steel surveying tape has a mass of 1.6 kg. If the tape is stretched between two points at the same elevation and pulled until the tension at each end is 60 N, determine the horizontal distance between the ends of the tape. Neglect the elongation of the tape due to the tension.arrow_forwardThe system is made up of a bar, supported by a pin at point A and by a smooth collar at point B (the collar slides on the ABG bar). The collar is pinned to bar BDE, and bar BDE is supported by a pin at D and a cable at end E. Determine the force P such that the force in the cable equals to T.

- The driver of the sports car applies his rear brakes and causes the tires to slip. If the normal force on each rear tire is 1800lb and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement is { { \mu }_{ k }=0.5 }μk=0.5, determine the average shear stress developed by the friction force on the tires. Assume the rubber of the tires is flexible and each tire is filled with an air pressure of 225 kp.arrow_forwardThe rigid bar is supported by the two short white spruce wooden posts and a spring. If each of the posts has an unloaded length of 1 m and a cross-sectional area of 600 mm2, and the spring has a stiffness of k = 2 MN >m and an unstretched length of 1.02 m, determine the force in each post after the load is applied to the bar.arrow_forwardThe 110-lb traffic light is suspended from two identical cables AB and BC, each weighing 0.80 lb/ft.
