A particle A, of weight W, resting on a rough horizontal floor is attached to one end of a light
inextensible string wound round a right circular cylinder of radius a and weight W, that rests on the
floor, touching it along a generator through a point B. The other end of the string is fastened to the
cylinder. The vertical plane through the string is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, passes
through the center of gravity of the cylinder and intersects the floor along AB, as shown in the figure.
The string is just taut and makes an angle with AB. The floor is rough enough to prevent the
cylinder from moving at B. A couple of moment G is applied to the cylinder so that the particle is in
limiting equilibrium. If is the coefficient of friction between the particle and the floor, show that the

A ladder whose centre of gravity is at a distance b from the foot, stands on a rough horizontal ground
and leans in equilibrium against a rough cylindrical pipe of radius r, fixed on the ground. The ladder
projects the beyond the point of contact with the pipe and is perpendicular to the axis of the pipe. Let
be the angle of friction at both points where friction acts and 2

at a distance x measured along the ladder from its foot. The ladder is in limiting equilibrium at both
