This document contains 7 questions from textbooks about mechanics problems involving friction. Question 1 involves finding the condition for block 2 not to move relative to an escalator given friction coefficients. Question 2 involves finding the speed range for no slip on a banked road. Question 3 asks which wheel (A or B) should be the driving wheel for a monorail to get larger acceleration. The remaining questions involve determining forces, couples, or masses given friction coefficients in problems involving drums, cables, bars, and cylinders. Additional practice problems from another textbook are also listed.

The coefficient of friction between the blocks 1 and 2 is µ1 and between the block 2 and the escalator 3 is µ2. The escalator moves at constant velocity v. Find the condition so that the block 2 does not move w.r.t. the elevator. If this condition is not satisfied find a2|3.
Question 2. Q2.49 Pg 162, PCD
A vehicle of mass m moves on a banked road in a circle of radius R at a speed v. The coefficient of friction for the ground is µ. Neglect the inertia of the wheels and the rotational inertia of the main body of the vehicle. (a) Find v for which the friction force is zero. (b) Find the range of v for which there is no slip. (c) Find the condition of tipping and show that tipping occurs before slip if µ > b/h.
Question 3. Q2.50 Pg 162, PCD
An overhead monorail system is accelerated to the right by driving
one of its wheels A or B. Which should be the driving wheel to get larger acceleration? Neglect the inertia of the wheels. The coefficient of friction for the wheels is µ.
Question 4. Problem 8.115 Beer et al.
The speed of the brake drum shown is controlled by a belt attached to the control bar AD. A force P of magnitude 25 N is applied to the control bar at A. Determine the magnitude of the couple being applied to the drum, knowing that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the belt and the drum is 0.25, that a = 4 cm, and that the drum is rotating at a constant speed (a) counterclockwise, (b) clockwise. Question 5. Problem 8.118 Beer et al.
Bucket A and block C are connected by a cable that passes
over drum B. Knowing that drum B rotates slowly counterclockwise and that the coefficients of friction at all surfaces are μs = 0.35 and μk = 0.25, determine the smallest combined mass m of the bucket and its contents for which block C will (a) remain at rest, (b) start moving up the incline, (c) continue moving up the incline at a constant speed.
Question 6. Problem 8.128 Beer et al.
The 10-N bar AE is suspended by a cable that passes over a 5-cm- radius drum. Vertical motion of end E of the bar is prevented by the two stops shown. Knowing that μs = 0.3 between the cable and the drum, determine (a) the largest counterclockwise couple MO that can be applied to the drum if slipping is not to occur, (b) the corresponding force exerted on end E of the bar.
Question 7. Problem 8.136 Beer et al.
The cylinder shown is of weight W and radius r. Express in terms W and r the magnitude of the largest couple M that can be applied to the cylinder if it is not to rotate, assuming the coefficient of static friction to be (a) zero at A and 0.30 at B, (b) 0.25 at A and 0.30 at B.
