A 60 kg spy is trapped in an underground bunker and the only way she can get out is by climbing up a ventilation shaft. Given her orientation in the shaft (inclined 0° to the horizontal), if she can produce 900 N of force to press against the sides of the shaft, will she slip if the coefficient of static friction between her and the shaft is 0.35. G represents her CoG.

Axial Load

When a bar of the uniform cross-section is acted by a load, such that the load acts along the longitudinal axis of the bar, such kinds of loadings are known as axial loadings. In general terms, a load is an external force acting on a component. An axial load acts perpendicular to the geometric cross-section of the component. Based on the direction of the application of the load, an axial load can be tensile or compressive. The analysis of bodies under the action of axial loads is generally studied under the branch of mechanics, known as statics.

A 150lb man stands on a 60lb bar to which a cable is fixed at B. The cable passes over two fixed pegs with coefficients of friction indicated. Assume that the arrangement of the pegs permits the cable to contact each peg over a total angle of 90-degrees (90-degrees per peg). Assume that the normal force exerted by the man on the bar acts downward through A. Find the largest force the man can exert on the cable and maintain the bar horizontal.
