Two weights are hung over two
frictionless pulleys that are
connected by a wire rope to a 500 lb
horizontal block that are in between
and below them. The wire rope
attached to the upper left end of the
block and to the left pulley is at 45
degrees with the horizontal and the
wire rope that connects the upper
right end of the block to the right
pulley is at 30 degrees with the
horizontal. If the weight on the left
pulley is 50 lb, fs 0.30 and fk = 0.20
on the surface of block what weight
W on the right pulley will cause the
500 lb block to just start moving to
the right? *
A vertical rectangular gate weighs 6000 lbs and is 10 ft tall and 8 ft wide (into the paper). The gate slides in vertical slots in the side of a reservoir containing water. The coefficient of friction between the slots and the gate is 0.03. Determine the minimum vertical force required to lift the gate when the water level is 4 ft above the top edge of the gate. [Answer in units of lbs.]
The top box weighs 125 lbs. and the bottom box weighs 150 lbs. The
coefficient of static friction between the boxes is? = 0.6. The coefficient of
static friction between the bottom box and the floor is 0.35. What force, P,
will cause movement of one or more of the boxes? Does it tip or slip?
(Hint: You must determine the minimum force to get the top box to slide;
the top box to tip, both boxes to slide, and both boxes to tip. The answer
will be the smallest.)
