Prob. A 20-b uniform disk is placed in contact with an inclined surface and a constant 7.5 lb-ft couple M is applied as shown. The weight of the link AB is negligible. Knowing that the coeffic...
The collars A and B weight 20 lb and 30 lb, respectively. Neglect the friction between collar B and the bar. The coefficient of static friction between collar A and the bar is 0.6. Assuming equilibrium, determine the friction force exerted on collar A. Is the coefficient of static friction at A large enough for the system to remain in equilibrium? Justify your answer. A 35-kg disk rests on an inclined surface for which mu s =0.2. Determine the maximum...
