FRICTION AND WEDGES

1. Determine the largest force P for which the 18-kg uniform bar remains in equilibrium.

0.2 =

0.2 sin 50 = sin 50 + 176.4

= sin 50 176.4 +

0.8 sin 50 = 176.4

= sin 50 + 176.4

176.4
;0.8 (sin 50)

= 287.84

= sin 50 +
= sin 50
0.2 sin 50 = sin 50 + 176.4

2. Derive the expression for the largest angle for which the homogeneous block stays in equilibrium.
Let

= tan

= 0;

cos sin = 0

= 0;

cos + sin = 0
cos cos ( sin ) = 0
=

sin : cos

sin(:) sin(;)

cos : sin

3. The man pushes the 60-kg homogeneous crate with the horizontal force P. Determine the largest distance h for which
the crate will slide without tipping.

0 = (60)(9.8)

= 588

(0.4) = 588

0 = 0.75 = 1470() 0.75(588) = 0.3m
