1. A body of weight 300 N is lying on a rough horizontal plane having coefficient of
friction 0.3. Find the magnitude of the force which can move the body, while acting at an angle of 25° with the horizontal. (P=87.1 N)
2. A body resting on a rough horizontal plane required a pull of 180 N inclined at 30° to the plane just to move it. It was found that a push of 220 N inclined at 30° to the plane just moved the body. Determine the weight of the body and the coefficient of the friction. (W=991.2 N and coefficient of friction=0.173)
3. What should be the value of θ which will make the motion of 900 N block down the block to impend? The coefficient of friction for all contact surfaces is 1/3. (θ=29.1°)
4. Determine whether the block shown is in equilibrium and find the magnitude and direction of the friction force when θ=25and P=750N. (in equilibrium & F=172.6 N) 5. Determine whether the block shown is in equilibrium and find the magnitude and direction of the friction force when θ= 40 and P=400 N (in equilibrium & F=48.3 N)
6. Knowing that θ=45, determine the range of values of P for which equilibrium is maintained (222N≤P≤479N)
7. A block of weight W1=100N rests on an inclined plane and another weight W2 is
attached to the first weight through a string as shown in fig below. If the coefficient of friction between the block and plane is 0.3, determine the maximum and minimum values of W2 so that equilibrium can exist. Neglect the friction in pulley. (24≤W≤76) 8. A 15° wedge is forced under a 50-kg pipe as shown in below figure. The coefficient of static friction at all surfaces is 0.20. (a) Show that slipping will occur between the pipe and the vertical wall. (b) Determine the force P required to move the wedge. (P=283 N)
9. Two identical blocks of weight W are supported by a rod inclined at 45° with the horizontal as shown in figure below. If both the blocks are in limiting equilibrium, find the coefficient of friction (μ), assuming it to be the same at floor as well as at wall. (μ = 0.414) 10. In figure provided below, the coefficient of friction is 0.20 between the rope and the fixed drum, and between other surfaces of contact μ = 0.3. Determine the minimum weight W to prevent downward motion of the 1000 N body. (W= 136.56 N)
