A panelboard sheet hangs in vertical position while gripped between the jaws of a clamp. One side has coefficient of static friction of 0.30 with the clamp and the other a coefficient of 0.45. How much horizontal force must each face of the clamp exert if the sheet weighs 150 N ? How much vertical force will each face of the clamp then exert?

Concept explainers

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.
