BMMM 2343 - BASIC TRIBOLOGY

TUTORIAL 1

1. Determine the minimum horizontal force P required to hold the crate from sliding
down the plane. The crate has a mass of 50 kg and the coefficient of static
friction between the crate and the plane is µs = 0.25.

Figure Q1

2. Determine the minimum force P required to push the crate up the plane. The
crate has a mass of 50 kg and the coefficient of static friction between the crate
and the plane is µs = 0.25. (refer problem 1 diagram)

3. Determine the smallest horizontal force P required to pull out wedge A. The crate
has a weight of 1500 N( or 150 kg) and the coefficient of static friction at all
contacting surfaces is µs = 0.3.Neglect the weight of the wedge.

4. Determine the smallest horizontal force P required to lift the 200-kg crate. The
coefficient of static friction at all contacting surfaces is . Neglect the mass of the
wedge.

Figure Q4

5. The device is used to pull the battery cable terminal C from the post of a battery.
If the required pulling force is 425 N, determine the torque M that must be applied
to the handle on the screw to tighten it. The screw has square threads, a mean
diameter of 5 mm, a lead of 2 mm, and the coefficient of static friction is µ s = 0.5.
