(a) Show that the beam of Prob. 8.41 cannot be moved if the top surface of the dolly is slightly lower than the platform. (b) Show that the beam can be moved if two 175-lb workers stand on the beam at B , and determine how far to the left the beam can be moved.
(Reference to Problem 8.41):
A 10-ft beam, weighing 1200 lb, is to be moved to the left onto the platform as shown. A horizontal force P is applied to the dolly, which is mounted on frictionless wheels. The coefficients of friction between all surfaces are μs= 0.30 and μk = 0.25, and initially, x= 2 ft. Knowing that the top surface of the dolly is slightly higher than the platform, determine the force P required to start moving the beam. (Hint: The beam is supported at A and D.)

- Required information Problem 12.092 - Two collars connected on a frame NOTE: This is a multi-part question. Once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part. Two 2.6-lb collars A and B can slide without friction on a frame, consisting of the horizontal rod OE and the vertical rod CD, which is free to rotate about CD. The two collars are connected by a cord running over a pulley that is attached to the frame at O and a stop prevents collar B from moving. The frame is rotating at the rate 0 = 13.8 rad/s and r D0.6 ft when the stop is removed, allowing collar A to move out along rod OE. Neglect the friction and the mass of the frame. Problem 12.092.a - Transverse component of the velocity of collar A Determine, for the position r= 1.2 ft, the transverse component of the velocity of collar A The transverse component of the velocity is ft/s.
