Box

Problem 310
A 300-lb box is held at rest on a smooth plane by a force P inclined at an angle θ with the plane as shown in Fig. P-310. If θ = 45°, determine the value of P and the normal pressure N exerted by the plane.
 

Problem 245
Refer to Fig. 2-24a. A couple consists of two vertical forces of 60 lb each. One force acts up through A and the other acts down through D. Transform the couple into an equivalent couple having horizontal forces acting through E and F.
 

Problem 007
A block is resting on an incline of slope 5:12 as shown in Fig. P-007. It is subjected to a force F = 500 N on a slope of 3:4. Determine the components of F parallel and perpendicular to the incline.
 

Problem 56
The base of a covered box is a square. The bottom and back are made of pine, the remainder of oak. If oak is m times as expensive as pine, find the most economical proportion.
 

Problem 29
