FBD Block B:
Tension in cord is equal to W A = 25 lb from FBD’s of block A and
pulley.
ΣFy = 0: N − WB cos 30° = 0, N = WB cos 30°

(a) For smallest WB , slip impends up the incline, and

F = µ s N = 0.35WB cos30°

ΣFx = 0: F − 25 lb + WB sin 30° = 0

( 0.35cos30° + sin 30° )WB = 25 lb


WB min = 31.1 lb

(b) For largest WB , slip impends down the incline, and

F = − µ s N = − 0.35 WB cos30°

ΣFx = 0: Fs + WB sin 30° − 25 lb = 0

( sin 30° − 0.35cos30° )WB = 25 lb


W B max = 127.0 lb

FBD Block B:

Tension in cord is equal to WA = 40 lb from FBD’s of block A and


pulley.
(a) ΣFy = 0: N − ( 52 lb ) cos 25° = 0, N = 47.128 lb

Fmax = µ s N = 0.35 ( 47.128 lb ) = 16.495 lb

ΣFx = 0: Feq − 40 lb + ( 52 lb ) sin 25° = 0

So, for equilibrium, Feq = 18.024 lb

Since Feq > Fmax , the block must slip (up since F > 0)

∴ There is no equilibrium

(b) With slip, F = µk N = 0.25 ( 47.128 lb )

F = 11.78 lb 35°

W = (10 kg ) 9.81 m/s 2 = 98.1 N

ΣF y = 0 : N − (98.1 N ) cos 20° + (40 N ) sin 20° = 0

N = 78.503 N

Fmax = µ s N = ( 0.30 )( 78.503 N ) = 23.551 N

For equilibrium: ΣFx = 0: ( 40 N ) cos 20° − ( 98.1 N ) sin 20° − F = 0


Feq = 4.0355 N < Fmax , ∴ Equilibrium exists

F = Feq F = 4.04 N 20°

Tension in cord is equal to P = 62.5 N, from FBD of pulley.

W = (10 kg ) 9.81 m/s 2 = 98.1 N

ΣFy = 0: N − ( 98.1 N ) cos 20° + ( 62.5 N ) sin15° = 0

N = 76.008 N

Fmax = µ s N = ( 0.30 )( 76.008 N ) = 22.802 N

For equilibrium: ΣFx = 0: ( 62.5 N ) cos15° − ( 98.1 N ) sin 20° − F = 0


Feq = 26.818 N > Fmax so no equilibrium,
and block slides up the incline

Fslip = µ x N = ( 0.25 )( 76.008 N ) = 19.00 N

F = 19.00 N 20°

ΣFx = 0: P cos 25° − ( 98.1 N ) sin 20° + F = 0 (2)

For impending slip down the incline, F = µ s N = 0.3 N and solving


(1) and (2), PD = 7.56 N

For impending slip up the incline, F = − µ s N = − 0.3 N and solving


(1) and (2), PU = 59.2 N

so, for equilibrium 7.56 N ≤ P ≤ 59.2 N

Solving numerically θ = −36.3° and θ = −72.6°
Therefore −72.6° ≤ θ ≤ −36.3° 
Impending tipping about F is not possible
(b) For impending slip: FE = µ s N E = 0.2 N E FF = µ s N F = 0.2 N F

N A + N B = 2.5 P sin θ

P P
Solving: NA = ( 2.5sin θ + cosθ ) , NB = ( 2.5sin θ − cosθ )

N A + N B = P cosθ , ( 2′ )
but equ. (1) does not change. Solving (1) and ( 2′ ) gives P cosθ = 2.5P sin θ ,

∴ impending motion for 21.8° ≤ θ ≤ 43.5° W

(b) As x increases from 4 in., the upper bound for θ decreases, becoming

FBD Rod:

N1 = 7.5 lb.

FBD Cylinder:

ΣFy = 0: N 2 − 7.5 lb − 36 lb = 0, N 2 = 43.5 lb

since µ1 = µ2 and N1 < N 2 , slip will impend at top of cylinder first, so


F1 = µ s N1 .

F1 = 0.35 ( 7.5 lb ) = 2.625 lb

ΣM D = 0: ( 4.25 in.) P − (12.5 in.)( 2.625 lb ) = 0, P = 7.7206 lb


Pmax = 7.72 lb W

To check slip analysis above, ΣFy = 0: N 2 − 36 lb − 7.5 lb = 0

N 2 = 43.5 lb

F2max = µ s N 2 = 0.35 ( 43.5 lb ) = 15.225 lb

Since T = 1.577 N < FC max , block B doesn’t slip and above answer for
mB min is correct.

2
NW = 271 lb

Since NW > N B , and all µ s are equal, assume slip impends at B and between wedge and floor, and not at A.

Then FW = µ s NW = 0.45 ( 271 lb ) = 121.95 lb

FB = µ s N B = 0.45 (185 lb ) = 83.25 lb

ΣFx = 0: P − 121.95 lb − 83.25 lb = 0, P = 205.20 lb


Check Wedge for assumption
ΣFy = 0: 271 lb − RA cosθ = 0

ΣFx = 0: 205.2 lb − 121.95 lb − RA sin θ = 0

83.25
so tan θ = = 0.3072 < µ s + tan 9°
271
so no slip here

TB − TA = 56 N, TB = TA + 56 N

Also, since the belt doesn’t change length, the additional stretch in
spring B equals the decrease in stretch of spring A. Thus the increase
in TB equals the decrease in TA.

Thus TB + TA = ( 70 N + ∆T ) + ( 70 N − ∆T ) = 140 N

FBD wheel:

ΣM E = 0: − M E + ( 7.5 in.)(T2 − T1 ) = 0

or M E = ( 7.5 in.)(T2 − T1 )

FBD lever:
ΣM C = 0: ( 4 in.)(T1 + T2 ) − (16 in.)( 25 lb ) = 0
or T1 + T2 = 100 lb

Impending slipping: T2 = T1e µs β

or T2 = T1e
( )
0.25 32π
= 3.2482T1

So T1 (1 + 3.2482 ) = 100 lb

T1 = 23.539 lb

and M E = ( 7.5 in.)( 3.2482 − 1)( 23.539 lb ) = 396.9 lb ⋅ in.

M E = 397 lb ⋅ in. W

Changing the direction of rotation will change the direction of M E and


will switch the magnitudes of T1 and T2 .
The magnitude of the couple applied will not change. W

Chapter 8, Solution 143.

FBD block:

ΣFn = 0: NC − ( 200 lb ) cos 30° = 0; N = 100 3 lb

ΣFt = 0: TC − ( 200 lb ) sin 30° ∓ FC = 0

TC = 100 lb ± FC (1)

FBD Drum: where the upper signs apply when FC acts

(a) For impending motion of block , FC , and

(
FC = µ s NC = 0.35 100 3 lb = 35 3 lb )
So, from Equation (1): (
TC = 100 − 35 3 lb )
But belt slips on drum, so TC = WAe µk β

( )

WA =  100 − 35 3 lb  e 3
 
WA = 23.3 lb W

(b) For impending motion of block , FC and FC = µ s NC = 35 3 lb

From Equation (1): (


TC = 100 + 35 3 lb )
−0.25( )
( )

Belt still slips, so WA = TC e− µk β =  100 + 35 3 lb  e 3
 
WA = 95.1 lb W

PROBLEM 8.143 CONTINUED

(c) For steady motion of block , FC , and FC = µk NC = 25 3 lb

Then, from Equation (1): ( )


T = 100 + 25 3 lb.

Also, belt is not slipping on drum, so
