Equations of Equilibrium,
*8–8. The uniform pole has a weight of 30 lb and a length of 26 ft. Determine the maximum distance d
it can be placed from the smooth wall and not slip. The coefficient of static friction between the floor
and the pole is 𝜇 = 0.3.
*8–12. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drum and brake bar are M = 50 N.m
respectively. If and 𝜇𝑠 = 0.4 P = 85 N and 𝜇𝑘 = 0.3, determine the horizontal and vertical components
of reaction at the pin O. Neglect the weight and thickness of the brake. The drum has a mass of 25 kg.
*8–24. The drum has a weight of 100 lb and rests on the floor for which the coefficient of static
friction is𝜇𝑠 = 0.6 a = 2 ft and b = 3 . If ft, determine the smallest magnitude of the force P that will
cause impending motion of the drum.
•8–65. Determine the smallest horizontal force P required to pull out wedge A. The crate has a weight
of 300 lb and the coefficient of static friction at all contacting surfaces is 𝜇𝑠 = 0.3 . Neglect the weight
of the wedge.
