Students have asked these similar questions
why does the force exerted from AB to the hydraulic cylinder decrease "exponentially" as the angle alpha increases?
(1) A 50 lb roller, with diameter 10 in, is
used to level a tile floor, and is
resting directly on the subflooring as
shown. If the thickness of the tile is
30°
0.25 in, what is the minimum force
P required to pull the roller onto the
tiles when it is pulled slowly to the
right?
