- The figure shows a steel bar being processed by a rolling mill. Given that P=80kN and r =0.016, determine the force F required to advance the bar at a constant speed.arrow_forwardThe figure shows a three-pin arch. Determine the horizontal component of the pin reaction at A caused by the applied force P.arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forward
- Find the force P required to (a) push; and (b) pull the 80-lb homogeneous roller over the 3-in. curb.arrow_forwardDraw the FBD of the entire frame, assuming that friction and the weights of the members are negligible. How many unknowns appear on this FBD?arrow_forwardIn Sample Problem 5.4, determine the tension TAC using the equation MDB=0.arrow_forward
- In Sample Problem 5.5, compute the tension TAD using one scalar equilibrium equation.arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forward
- Compute the tension TAE in Sample Problem 5.7 using one scalar equilibrium equation.arrow_forwardDetermine the tension TB in Sample Problem 5.6 using one scalar equilibrium equation.arrow_forwardThe 180-lb homogeneous bar is supported by a ball-and-socket joint at A and two cables attached to B. Determine the forces in the cables.arrow_forward
