Problem 319
Cords are loop around a small spacer separating two cylinders each weighing 400 lb and pass, as shown in Fig. P-319 over a frictionless pulleys to weights of 200 lb and 400 lb . Determine the angle θ and the normal pressure N between the cylinders and the smooth horizontal surface.
Problem 318
Three bars, hinged at A and D and pinned at B and C as shown in Fig. P-318, form a four-link mechanism. Determine the value of P that will prevent motion.
