1. The 1.2.kg wooden block is used for level support of the 9-kg can of paint.
Determine the magnitude and direction of(a) the friction force exerted by the
roof surface on t he wooden block and (b) the tot al force exerted by the roof
surface on the wooden block.
Ans. (a) F = 3 1.6 N, (b) P = 100.1 N

2. The light bar is used to support the 50-kg block in its vertical guides. If the
coefficient of static friction is 0.30 at the upper end of t he bar and 0.40 at t he
lower end of the bar, find the friction force acting at each end for x = 75 mm.
Also find the maximum value of x for which the bar will not slip.
Ans. FA = Fn = 126.6 N, Xmax = 86.2 mm

3. The 180 N man with centre of gravity G supports the 75-N drum as shown.
Find the greatest distance x at which the man can position himself f without

slipping if t he coefficient of static friction between his shoes and t he ground is


0.40.
Ans. X = 10.52 m

4. Three cylinders (each radius r, weight W) are arranged as shown in Fig. The
surfaces of all contact planes are rough (coefficient of static friction ).
Determine the minimum value of in order to prevent slipping.
Ans:

5. The system of two blocks, cable, and fixed pulley is in initially at rest.
Determine the horizontal force P necessary to cause mot ion when (a) P is
applied to the 5-kg block and (b) P is applied to the 10 -kg block. Determine t
he corresponding tension T in the cable for each case.

6. Determine the range of weights for which th e l00 N block is in equilibrium.


All wheels and pulleys have negligible friction.

7. Can the system in Fig. (a) Be in static equilibrium in the position shown? The
uniform bar AB 500 kg and the mass of block C is 300 kg. Friction at A is
negligible, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.4 at the other two contact
surfaces.
Ans: the system cannot be in equilibrium. Although there is sufficient friction beneath B, the friction force
under C exceeds its limiting value.

8. Determine the largest and smallest values of the force P for which the system
in Fig. (a) will be in static equilibrium. The homogeneous bars AB and BC are
identical, each having a mass of 100 kg. The coefficient of static friction
between the bar at C and the horizontal plane is 0.5.
largest P = 1630 N Answer
smallest P = 530 N Answer

9. The uniform 50-kg plank in Fig. (a) is resting on friction surfaces at A and B.
The coefficients of static friction are shown in the figure. If a 80-kg man starts
walking from A toward B, determine the distance x when the plank will start to
slide.

x = 2.55 m

10. The position of the machine block B is adjusted by moving the wedge A.
Knowing that the coefficient of static friction is 0.35 between all surfaces of
contact, determine the force P required (a) to raise block B, (b) to lower block
B.

Answer
Force P to Raise Block P=423 N
Force P to Lower Block P= 206 N

11. The man has a weight W, and the coefficient of static friction between his
shoes and the floor iss . Determine where he should position his center of
gravity G at d in order to exert the maximum horizontal force on the door. What
is this force? W = 200 N s = 0.5 h = 3 m

d = 1.50 m

12. A very thin bookmark having a width a. is in the middle of a dictionary of


weight W. If the pages are b by c, determine the force P needed to start to pull
the bookmark out. The coefficient of static friction between the bookmark and

the paper is s. Assume the pressure on each page and the bookmark is
uniform. a = 1 cm W = 10 lb b = 8 cm c = 10 cm s = 0.7
Ans: P = 0.88 N

Note: If force given in lb, replace lb with N
