(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.)

Problem 18.2
As part of a school bus safety test program, school buses are being tested for potential roll-over hazards.
To test the bus, it is placed on 1000-pound moveable concrete pad that rolls freely without friction. The
horizontal motion of the pad is produced by a hydraulic ram which pulls the pad to left. A 5000-pound
school bus is placed on the pad as shown in the figure.
a) Assuming the bus does not slip on the
pad, determine the minimum value
of the horizontal acceleration (dv/dt)
of the pad in the direction indicated
that will cause the bus to tip, in ft/s².
b) Determine the force, in lbf, that the
ram must apply to the platform to
produce the acceleration found in
part (a).
c) Determine the minimum static
coefficient of friction between the
tires and the concrete pad that is
required to keep the bus from
slipping on the moving pad.
