    The document describes a problem involving two blocks connected by cords over frictionless pulleys that are resting on an inclined plane. It provides the coefficients of friction between the blocks and inclines. It then calculates the static friction forces on each block, and determines that the tension force on the second block is insufficient to hold the system in static equilibrium, so the blocks will move to the left. It then calculates the kinetic friction forces acting on each block.

    Friction

    Problem 509
    The blocks shown in Fig. P-509 are connected by flexible, inextensible cords passing over
    frictionless pulleys. At A the coefficients of friction are μs = 0.30 and μk = 0.20 while at B they
    are μs = 0.40 and μk = 0.30. Compute the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on
    each block.

    Solution:
    Considering friction
    The angle of static friction at A, ɸA = arctan 0.30 = 16.70°, is not enough to hold the block from
    sliding the incline of angle θ = arctan (3/4) = 36.87° from horizontal. If TB is insufficient to hold
    2TA statically the system will move to the left, otherwise, the system is stationary.

    Assume the blocks are stationary (use μs)


    NA=3000cosθ=3000(4/5)=2400 N
    fA=0.30NA=0.30(2400)=720 N
    TA=3000sinθ−fA=3000(35)−720=1080 N
    2TA=2160 N

    NB=2000cosα=2000(3/5)=1200 N
    fB=0.40NB=0.40(1200)=480 N
    TB=2000sinα+fB=2000(45)+480=2080 N

    TB < 2TA. TB is insufficient to hold the system in static equilibrium, thus, the blocks are
    moving to the left.
    Blocks are moving to the left (Use μk)
    fA=0.20NA=0.20(2400)=480 N answer
    fB=0.30NB=0.30(1200)=360 N answer

    Problem 510
    What weight W is necessary to start the system of blocks shown in Fig. P-510 moving to the
    right? The coefficient of friction is 0.10 and the pulleys are assumed to be frictionless.

    Solution:

    FBDs

    N1=60 kN
    f1=μN1=0.10(60)=6 kN
    T1=f1=6 kN

    N2=40cos30∘=34.64 kN
    f2=μN2=0.10(34.64)=3.46 kN

    W=40sin30∘+T1+f2
    W=20+6+3.46
    W=29.46 kN answer
    Problem 513
    In Fig. P-512, the homogeneous block weighs 300 kg and the coefficient of friction is
    0.45. If h = 50 cm, determine the force P to cause motion to impend.

    Solution:
    Problem 514
    The 10-kN cylinder shown in Fig. P-514 is held at rest on the 30° incline by a weight P
    suspended from a cord wrapped around the cylinder. If slipping impends, determine P and the
    coefficient of friction.

    Solution:
    a=10cos60o=5 cm
    FBD of cylinder b=10−a=5 cm

    ΣMA=0
    Pb=Wcyla
    P(5)=10(5))
    P=10 kN answer

    ΣMO=0
    10f=10P
    f=P
    f=10 kN

    ΣFy=0
    N=10cos30∘+Pcos30∘
    N=10cos30∘+10cos30∘
    N=17.32 kN

    f=μN
    10=μ(17.32)
    μ=0.577 answer
    Problem 516
    Referring to Fig. P-515 if the coefficient of friction is 0.60 and θ = 30°, what force P applied to B
    acting down and parallel to the incline will start motion? What is the tension in the cord
    attached to A?

    Solution:
    Problem 522
    The blocks shown in Fig. P-522 are separated by a solid strut which is attached to the blocks
    with frictionless pins. If the coefficient of friction for all surfaces is 0.20, determine the value of
    horizontal force P to cause motion to impend to the right. Assume that the strut is a uniform rod
    weighing 300 lb.
