Problem 506
A 400 lb block is resting on a rough horizontal surface for which the coefficient of friction is 0.40. Determine the force P required to cause motion to impend if applied to the block (a) horizontally or (b) downward at 30° with the horizontal. (c) What minimum force is required to start motion?
Friction is the contact resistance exerted by one body when the second body moves or tends to move past the first body. Friction is a retarding force that always acts opposite to the motion or to the tendency to move.
Problem 007-cb
In the structure shown in Fig. CB-007(FR), members BCE, and CD are assumed to be solid rigid members. Members AE and DE are cables. For this structure, determine the
reaction at B.
Problem 006-fr
In the structure shown in Fig. P-006(FR-H), all members are assumed to be solid rigid members. The system is pinned to the wall at point A and supported by a roller at point E. Calculate the force on member BD and the reactions at A and E.
Problem 005-cb
For the cabled structure in Fig. 005(FR-CB), member ABC which is assumed to be rigid is pinned at A and held in equilibrium by cable CD. For this structure, determine the reaction at A and the tension in the cable.
Problem 004-mm
For the structure shown in Fig. FR-004(MM), members AD, DC, and ABC are assumed to be solid rigid members; member ED is a cable. For this structure, determine the reaction at A, the tension on cable ED, and the force in member DC.
Problem 003-mm
For the structure shown in Fig. (MM)-P003 below, determine the reactions at A and D and the internal force in member CF.
Problem 002-mm
Members AB and BC shown in Fig. F-002(MM) are pinned together at point B, and are pinned to the floor at points A and C. The structure supports a pulley at point B with which, a person is hoisting a 2.0 kN load. Member BC has a weight of 1.6 kN, which may be considered to act at its center, while AB is made of strong-light material and has negligible weight. Determine the value of the external support reactions at A and C.
Problem 001-mm
The structure shown in Fig F-001(MM) is pinned together at points A, B, and C and held in equilibrium by the cable CD. A load of 12,000 lb is acting at the midpoint of member AB, and a load of 8000 lb is applied at point C. Determine the reaction at A, the internal force in member BC, and the tension on cable CD.
