The attached picture shows a scissor clamp used for gripping and moving sliding pallets. The static coefficient of friction in the jaws A and B of the clamp is 0.5. On the other hand, the static coefficient of friction between the pallet and the floor is 0.4. If the box that holds and drags the pallet has 55 kgm, what is the maximum load P to be applied to the eye at the end of the chains. Other data: a=75mm; b=20mm; c=30mm; Ө=60 deg.

The boxes are at rest. The pulley is massless. Fpull makes an angle 0 with respect to the incline. (i) Draw free body diagrams for m, and m, for the situation outlined in part (ii). (ii) What maximum force, Foull, Can you apply to m, and have it remain at rest? In terms of the given information. Just give the equation (or equations) needed to solve for the force. Do not simplify or isolate for Fpull, but make sure it is the only unknown. pull Given information: B (angle of incline with horizontal) e (angle Fpull makes with incline) m, (mass of box 1) m2 (mass of box 2) H (distance m, is above the ground) • H, (static friction coefficient, incline and box 1) He (kinetic friction coefficient, incline and box 1) m1 m2

A 8.0 m long ladder AB leans against a smooth wall making an angle of 70º with the floor. The ladder is uniform and has a mass of 40.0 kg.(a) Determine the forces exerted on the ladder by the floor and the wall (i.e. at A and B respectively).(b) Determine the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction to prevent the ladder from slipping.

A heavy cask (full of wine!) sits on an inclined plane. It is held in place by a rope that is attached to the cask and to a hook further up the inclined plane (at A). The rope comes off of the cask tangent to the cask. The mass of the cask is 40 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between the inclined plane and the cask is 0.25. What is the maximum value of 0 just before the cask begins to slip? Also, what is the tension in the rope when slipping is impending? Finally, if the inclined plane became icy, and the rope didn't break as the cask slipped, what would be remarkable about the lines of action of the W, N and T force vectors once equilibrium was re-established? 0.70 m 40
