- A uniform plank is supported by a fixed support at A and a drum at B that rotates clockwise. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction for the two points of contact are as shown. Determine whether the plank moves from the position shown if (a) the plank is placed in position before the drum is set in motion; and (b) the plank is first placed on the support at A and then lowered onto the drum, which is already rotating.arrow_forwardA large symmetrical drum for drying sand is operated by the geared motor drive shown.

The door is maintained in a vertical plane by the floor-mounted roller C which bears against the bottom edge. For the position shown, compute the horizontal side thrust (x-direction) on each of the wheels A and B that must be considered in designing the brackets.

- The 136-kg industrial door with mass center at G is being positioned for repair by insertion of the 6° wedge under corner B. Horizontal movement is prevented by the small ledge at corner A. The coefficients of static friction at both the top and bottom wedge surfaces are 0.58. Calculate the rightward force P' which would remove the wedge from under the door. Assume that corner A does not slip for your calculation of P, but then check this assumption; the coefficient of static friction at A is 0.58.arrow_forwardA uniform slender bar AB with a mass of 20 kg and length of 3.6 m leans on a wall as shown. It is attached to a weightless small roller at end A on a smooth horizontal surface. The coefficient kinetic friction between end B and the wall is 0.25. If the bar is released from rest in the position shown when θ is 30°. Then find, determine the normal force at A. determine the normal force at B. determine the frictional force between end B and the wall.arrow_forwardThe sliding glass door rolls on the two small lower wheels A and B. Under normal conditions the upper wheels do not touch their horizontal guide. (a) Compute the force P required to slide the door at a steady speed if wheel A becomes "frozen" and does not turn in its bearing. (b) Rework the problem if wheel B becomes frozen instead of wheel A. The coefficient of kinetic friction between a frozen wheel and the supporting surface is 0.45, and the center of mass of the 103-lb door is at its geometric center.
