EXAMPLE
FBD
Case 1: Impending motion is down the plane.
Fx = 0
T1 + F1 W sin = 0
Fy = 0
N1 W cos = 0
4
Case 2: Impending motion is up the plane.
Fx = 0
T2 + F2 W sin = 0
Fy = 0
N2 cos = 0
What about T ?

dN T () T ( + d) =0

T d = dN
So:
T = W0
Back to block:
T1 = T2 = W0
N1 = N2 = N = W cos
For case 1:
F1 = s N = s W cos
s W cos + W0 + W sin = 0
W0 = W sin s W cos
The block will be stable against downward motion when:
W0 = W sin s W cos
For case 2:
F2 = s N = s W cos
s W cos + W0 + W sin = 0
W0 = W sin s W cos

The block will be stable against downward motion when:
W0 W sin + s W cos
So it is stable when:

dT = T ( + d) T () T ( + d) = T () + dT = T + dT
So:
T () T ( + d) dF = 0
dT = dF
T d d
dN + (T + dT ) =0

T + dT 0
dN T d = 0
With impending motion:
dF = s dN
dT = s dN

Substitute:

T d = 0
s
Thus:
dT
