The rod has a weight W and rests against the floor and wal for which the coefficients of static friction are mA and mB, respectively. Determine the smallest value of q for which the rod will not move. Given: Find: Solution:
Impending Motion at All Points FB W NB L sin q FA NA FA
FB W Equilibrium Eqs. NB L sin q FA NA FA
slipping must occur at A & B FB W NB L sin q FA NA FA
The three bars have a weight of WA = 20 lb, WB = 40 lb and WC = 60 lb, respectively. If the coefficients of static friction at the surfaces are as shown, determine the smallest horizontal force P needed to move block A. Given: Find: Solution:
WABC T FAD NAD
If blocks A & B move first WC FCB T NCB NCB=WC+Tsinq FBC WAB FAD NAD
If blocks A & B move first WC FCB T NCB NCB=WC+Tsinq FBC WAB FAD NAD
If blocks A move first NAD NAB FAB T WCB WA FAD FAB NAB NAD T Therefore block A moves first
