A 15-kg cylinder of diameter b = 160 mm and height h = 140 mm is placed on a 5-kg platform CD that is held in the position shown by three cables. It is desired to determine the minimum value of µs between the cylinder and the platform for which the cylinder does not slip on the platform, immediately after cable AB is cut. Using computational software calculate and plot the minimum allowable value of µs for values of θ from 0 to 40°. Knowing that the actual value of µs is 0.75, determine the value of θ at which slipping impends.
