All Problem Solutions Must Include FBDS: Tutorial 6 Friction

This document provides instructions and diagrams for 4 friction problems. Problem 1 involves determining if a man can move a crate based on their masses and coefficients of static friction. Problem 2 involves finding the largest torque that can be applied to a rod resting on a block without causing motion. Problem 3 asks for the minimum force needed to maintain equilibrium between two blocks in contact. Problem 4 involves finding the force needed to begin lifting a cylinder that is prevented from descending by a lower force, with the rope passing over a peg.

TUTORIAL 6 FRICTION

All problem solutions must include FBDs

1. a) The coefficient of static friction between the 150 kg crate and the ground is µs = 0.3, while
the coefficient of static friction between the 80 kg man’s shoes and the ground is µ s’ = 0.4.
Determine if the man can move the crate.
b) If the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the ground is µs = 0.3, determine
the minimum coefficient of static friction between the man’s shoes and the ground so that
the man can move the crate.

2. The uniform 6 kg slender rod rests on the top center of the 3 kg block. If the coefficient of
static friction at the points of contact are µA = 0.4, µB = 0.6 and µC = 0.3, determine the largest
couple moment M which can be applied to the rod without causing motion of the rod.

3. Two blocks A and B of mass 200 kg and 100 kg respectively are placed in contact with each
other as shown. Determine the minimum force P required to maintain equilibrium if the
coefficient of friction between all contacting surfaces is µ = 0.3.

4. A force P = 25 N is just sufficient to prevent the 20 kg cylinder from descending. Determine


the required force P to begin lifting the cylinder. The rope passes over a rough peg with two
and half turns.
