- The two homogeneous bars AB and BC are connected with a pin at B and placed between rough vertical walls. If the coefficient of static friction between each bar and the wall is 0.25, determine the largest angle 6 for which the assembly will remain at rest.arrow_forwardThe brake pads at C and D are pressed against the cylinder by the spring BF. The coefficient of static friction between each pad and the cylinder is 0.15. Find the smallest tension in the spring that would prevent the cylinder from rotating when the clockwise couple M=2200lbin. is applied. Neglect the weights of the members.arrow_forwardThe single-threaded screw of the floor jack has a pitch of 0.5 in. and a mean radius of 1.75 in. The angle of static friction is 8.5.

Determine (a) the torque C0 that must be applied to the screw in order to produce a 28-lb clamping force at A; and (b) the torque required to loosen the clamp.arrow_forwardThe square-threaded screw 0f the C-clamp has a mean diameter of 8 mm and a pitch of 1.6 mm. The coefficient of static friction between the threads is 0.2. If the torque C=1.50Nm is used to tighten the clamp, determine (a) the clamping force; and (b) the torque required to loosen the clamp.arrow_forwardThe 600-lb cable spool is placed on a frictionless spindle that has been driven into the ground. If the force required to start the spool rotating is F = 160 lb, determine the coefficient of friction between the ground and the spool. Neglect the diameter of the spindle compared to the diameter of the spool.arrow_forward
- The single-plate clutch transmits the torque C from the input shaft on the left to the output shaft on the right. Compression springs between the clutch housing and the pressure plate provide the necessary pressure on the friction surface. The splines prevent the clutch plate from rotating relative to the output shaft. If Ri=4 in. and R0=9 in., determine the total force that must be applied to the pressure plate by the springs if the clutch is to transmit a torque of C=56lbft when it is new.arrow_forwardB: A roll of paper has a uniform weight of 2kN and is suspended from the wire hanger so that it rests against the wall.
