    This document contains 3 questions from a tutorial on structural mechanics and friction. Question 1 asks to determine the friction force on a 40-kg crate given a pulling force of 300 N, and to calculate the normal force and its position. Question 2 asks to determine the minimum diameter of nails holding a hanger against a column given the material's shear failure stress and a safety factor. Question 3 asks to determine the required diameters of two aluminum rods supporting a 20 kN force given the material's allowable tensile stress.

    Question 1
    Determine the friction force on the 40-kg crate, and the resultant normal force and
    its position x, measured from point A, if the force is P = 300 N. Take μs = 0.5 and μk
    = 0.2.

    Question 2
    Six nails are used to hold the hanger at A against the column. Determine the
    minimum required diameter of each nail to the nearest mm if it is made of material
    having τfail = 112 MPa. Apply a factor safety of F.S. = 2 against shear failure.

    Question 3
    The two aluminum rods support the vertical force of P = 20 kN. Determine their
    required diameters if the allowable tensile stress for the aluminum is σallow = 150
    MPa.
