Mechanical Properties of Solids

There are three types of matter- solid, liquid and gas. Out of them, solids have a rigid shaped and size. The intermolecular forces of attractions in solids are greatest. Mechanical properties are the physical properties of a material which it shows, when it is provided with certain amount of force or load. These properties are to be kept in mind for various purposes. When a force is applied to an object, the object may or may not get deformed depending upon its elastic property. But every time the object develops a restoring force against the force applied. This is commonly known as stress. If the object changes its dimensions due to the force applied it develops strain ( which is the ratio of change in dimension to the original dimension).

1. A horizontal force P the plane, and a horizontal force P= 350 N is required to just push the block up the plane. Determine the coefficient of static friction between the plane and the crate, and find the weight of the block. 100 N is just sufficient to hold the block from sliding down 30° 2. Blocks A and B weigh 200 N and 150 N, respectively. They are connected together with a cable and placed on the inclined plane. If the angle 0 is gradually increased, determine 0 when the crates begin to slide. The coefficients of static friction between the crates and the plane are HA 0.25 and HB= 0.35.
