    The document contains solutions to multiple problems involving determining forces, centroids, and coefficients of friction for systems of blocks and inclined planes. Friction forces are calculated using coefficients of static and kinetic friction. Centroids are found by taking the weighted average of the coordinates of composite areas. The minimum force or maximum angle required to cause impending motion is determined by balancing forces parallel and normal to inclined surfaces.

    The passages discuss determining forces required to cause impending motion of blocks on inclined planes and horizontal surfaces, as well as methods for locating centroids of composite areas and determining friction forces on connected blocks.

    The process involves drawing free body diagrams, summing forces parallel and normal to surfaces, setting accelerations to zero, and determining minimum forces through differentiation.

    The centroid of composite areas can be determined by separately finding the centroid of individual geometric shapes that make up the area (rectangles, circles, triangles etc.) and combining them proportionally based on their respective areas.

    Find the least value of P required to cause the system of blocks shown in Fig.

    P-511 to have impending motion to the left. The coefficient of friction under each block is 0.20.

    Amount of friction

    Sum up forces parallel to the incline

    From the FBD of 30 kN block on the horizontal plane Sum up vertical forces

    Amount of friction

    answer

    The blocks shown in Fig. P-509 are connected by flexible, inextensible cords passing over frictionless pulleys. At A the coefficients of friction are s = 0.30 and k = 0.20 while at B they are s = 0.40 and k = 0.30. Compute the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on each block.

    Solution 509

    2TA is greater than TB, thus, the system will move to the left if contact surfaces are frictionless. Considering friction The angle of static friction at A, A = arctan 0.30 = 16.70, is not enough to hold the block from sliding the incline of angle = arctan (3/4) = 36.87 from horizontal. If TB is insufficient to hold 2TA statically the system will move to the left, otherwise, the system is stationary.

    Assume the blocks are stationary (use s)

    TB < 2TA. TB is insufficient to hold the system in static equilibrium, thus, the blocks are moving to the left. Blocks are moving to the left (Use k) answer answer
