SRM TRP ENGINEERING COLLEGE, IRUNGALUR, TRICHY 2 A cylindrical roller has a weight of 10kN and it is being

pulled by a force which is inclined at 30˚ with the

GE8292/Engineering Mechanics horizontal as shown in fig. While moving it comes across

7 A beam AB 8.5 m long is hinged at A and supported on rollers
over a smooth surface inclined at 30° to the horizontal at B.
The beam is loaded as shown in Fig. Determine graphically, or
otherwise, the reactions at A and B.

5 An effort of 200 N is required just to move a certain body CO 6 L6CR

up an inclined plane of angle 15°, the force is acting

parallel to the plane. If the angle of inclination of the
plane is made 20°, the effort required being again parallel CO 5 L4AN
to the plane, is found to be 230 N. Predict the weight of
the body and coefficient of friction. 8 Two identical blocks of weight W are supported by a rod
inclined at 45° with the horizontal as shown in Fig. If both the
6 A 7m long ladder rests against a vertical wall, with which
blocks are in limiting equilibrium, find the coefficient of

friction (μ), assuming it to be the same at floor as well as at
weight is one half that of the ladder climbs it, at what
wall.
distance along the ladder will he be, when the ladder is
about to slip? Take coefficient of friction between the
CO 6 L5EV
ladder and the wall is 1/3 and that between the ladder and
the floor is 1/3.
