A cube of side l rests on a rough floor. It is subjected to a steady horizontal pull F, exerted a distance h above the floor as shown in Fig. 9-79. As Fis increased, the block will either begin to slide, or begin to tip over. Determine the coefficient of static friction us so that (a) the block begins to slide rather than tip; (b) the block begins to tip. [Hint: Where will the normal force on the block act if it tips?] h FIGURE 9–79 Problem 60.

The upper end of a wide-skid W 8 × 21 steel column (E = 30 × 103 ksi) is supported laterally between two tubes (see figure). The tubes are not attached to the column and the friction between the tubes and the column is not reliable. The base of the column provides fixed support and the column is 13 ft long. Determine the critical load for the column, consider the Euler buckling in the web plane and also perpendicular to the web plane.
R8-7. The uniform 50-lb beam is supported by the rope that is attached to the end of the beam, wraps over the rough peg, and is then connected to the 100-lb block. If the coefficient of static friction between the beam and the block, and between the rope and the peg, is us = 0.4, determine the maximum distance that the block can be placed from A and still remain in equilibrium.
