The block of weight W is pulled by the force P inclined at the angle to the horizontal. Find the smallest force P and the corresponding angle that would cause impending sliding of the block. The angle of static friction between the block and the ground is s.
The coeffient of static friction between the uniform bar AB of weight W and the ground is 0.45. Find the smallest angle and the corresponding force P that would initiate simultaneous tipping and sliding of the bar.
If the input force to the compound lever is P = 30 lb, calculate the output force Q.
The bar ABC is supported by three identical, ideal springs. Note that the springs are always vertical because the collars to which they are attached are free to slide on the horizontal rail. Find the angle at equilibrium if W = kL. Neglect the weight of the bar.
The linkage is made of two homogenous bars of weights shown in the figure. Determine the horizontal force P required to hold the linkage in the position shown.
