Find out the number of turns a hauling rope must be wound round a rotating capstan in order

to haul a load of 3 MN up to a gradient of 1 in 30. Presume the following data:


Resistance due to rolling = 0.00375 per Newton load
Friction coefficient between the rope and drum = 0.35
Pull on the free end of the rope = 250 N

T1 = (3x10 6 x0.00375) + (3x10 6x(1/30) = 111250 N


T2 = Given = 250 N
RELATION BETWEEN T1, T2
T1/T2 = e ^(

A horizontal drum of belt drive carries the belt over a semicircle around it. The drum has a
diameter of 1 m and when it rotates, 400 N.m torque is transmitted. The drum has a mass of
25 kg and the coefficient of friction between the belt and drum is 0.25. Neglecting mass of
belt, determine tensions induced in the limbs of the belt, and the vertical reaction of the
bearings.
Determine the minimum angle theta at which a uniform ladder can be placed against a wall
without slipping under its own weight. The coefficient of friction for all surfaces is 0.2.
