Chapter 7, Problem 7.24P

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.

(a)

Whether the plank moves from the position if the plank is placed in position before the drum is set in motion

Answer to Problem 7.24P

The co-efficient of friction μA at point A is larger than the co-efficient of static friction (μS)A. Therefore, the plank will slide at point A.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

International Edition---engineering Mechanics: Statics, 4th Edition, Chapter 7, Problem 7.24P , additional homework tip  1

A is fixed support.

Drum rotates at clockwise.

If there is no relative motion between two surfaces that are in contact, the relationship between normal force N and friction force F would be:

  F=μsN

  μs - Co-efficient of static friction

Steps to follow in the equilibrium analysis of a body are:

1. Draw the free body diagram.

2. Write the equilibrium equations.

3. Solve the equations for the unknowns.

Calculation:

FBD of plank

International Edition---engineering Mechanics: Statics, 4th Edition, Chapter 7, Problem 7.24P , additional homework tip  2

Assume NA,NB as the reaction force at point A and B respectively.

Assume FA,FB as the friction force at point A and B.

For the equilibrium of plank, the bending moment about point A is equal to zero.

  MA=0

  3NB2W=0NB=2W3

Write equilibrium equation in horizontal direction.

  Fx=0

  FBFA=0FA=FB

Write equilibrium equation in vertical direction.

  Fy=0

  NA+NBW=0NA=W3

The plank to remain at rest, it must resist the maximum static friction force FB at point B.

Assume (μs)B as the co-efficient of static friction at point B.

  FB=( μ s)BNB=0.18( 2W3)=0.12W

Therefore

  FA=FB=0.12W

The co-efficient of static friction μA at point A

  μA=FANA=0.12W( W 3 )=0.36

  μA>(μS)A

Therefore, the plank will slide at point A.

Conclusion:

The co-efficient of friction μA at point A is larger than the co-efficient of static friction (μS)A. Therefore, the plank will slide at point A.

To determine

(b)

Whether the plank moves from the position if the plank is first placed on support A and then lowered onto the drum

Answer to Problem 7.24P

The co-efficient of friction μA at point A is smaller than the co-efficient of static friction (μS)A. Therefore, the plank will not move.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

International Edition---engineering Mechanics: Statics, 4th Edition, Chapter 7, Problem 7.24P , additional homework tip  3

A is fixed support.

Drum rotates at clockwise.

If there is no relative motion between two surfaces that are in contact, the relationship between normal force N and friction force F would be:

  F=μsN

  μs - Co-efficient of static friction

Steps to follow in the equilibrium analysis of a body are:

1. Draw the free body diagram.

2. Write the equilibrium equations.

3. Solve the equations for the unknowns.

Calculation:

According to sub part a

  NA=W3

  NB=2W3

The plank to remain at rest, it must slip on the drum at point B.

  FB=( μ k)BNB=0.15( 2W3)=0.1W

Therefore

  FA=FB=0.1W

The co-efficient of static friction μA at point A

  μA=FANA=0.1W( W 3 )=0.3

  μA<(μS)A

Therefore, the plank will not move.

Conclusion:

The co-efficient of friction μA at point A is smaller than the co-efficient of static friction (μS)A. Therefore, the plank will not move.
