Chapter 8, Problem 85P
A 180-lb farmer tries to restrain the cow from escaping by wrapping the rope two turns around the tree as shown. If the cow exerts a force of 250 lb on the rope, determine if the farmer can successfully restrain the cow. The coefficient of static friction between the rope and the tree trunk is, μs = 0.15, and between the farmer’s shoes and the ground, μ’s = 0.3.
