TUTORIAL SHEET-7
1. Determine whether the block
shown is in equilibrium, and find the
magnitude and direction of the friction
force when θ = 30 and P = 200N.
0

ANSWER:
• Feq. > Fmax impossible ⇒ Block
moves

• F = 193.2 N

2. A 120-mm-radius pulley of mass


5 kg is attached to a 30-mm-radius
shaft which fits loosely in a fixed
bearing. It is observed that the pulley
will just start rotating if a 0.5-kg mass
is added to block A. Determine the
coefficient of static friction between
the shaft and the bearing.
ANSWER:
μs = 0.0787
3. The block and tackles shown are
used to raise a 600-N load. Each of the
60-mm-diameter pulleys rotates on a
10-mm-diameter axle. Knowing that
the coefficient of kinetic friction is
0.20, determine the tension in each
portion of the rope as the load is
slowly raised.

ANSWER
TAB = 290 N, TCD = 310 N, TEF =
331N

4. Determine the distance s to


which the 90 kg painter can climb
without causing the 4 m ladder to slip
at its lower end A. The top of 15 kg
ladder has a small roller, and at the
ground the coefficient of static friction
is 0.25. The mass centre of the painter
is directly above his feet.

ANSWER
S = 2.55 m

5. The collar A has a force fit on


shaft B and is to be removed from the
shaft by the wheel-puller mechanism
shown. The screw has a single thread
with a mean diameter of 20 mm and a
lead L of 6 mm. If a torque of 24 N-m
is required to turn wheel C to slip the
collar off the shaft, determine the
average pressure p (compressive
stress) between the collar and the
shaft. The coefficient of friction for
the screw at E is 0.25, and that for the
shaft and collar is 0.30. Friction at the
ball end D of the shaft is negligible.
ANSWER
p = 2400 kPa.
