The beam is supported by a pin at A and a roller at B which has negligible weight and a radius of 15 mm. If the coefficient of static friction is mB = mC = 0.3, determine the largest angle u of the incline so that the roller does not slip for any force P applied to the beam.

33.4

Explanation:

Step 1:

\sumMo=0 (moment about the origin)

Fb(15)-Fc(15)=0

Fb=Fc

Step 2:

\sumFx=0

-Fb-Fccos\theta+Ncsin\theta=0

Fc=0.3Nc=Fb

-0.3Nc-0.3Nccos\theta+Ncsin\theta=0

(-0.3-cos\theta+sin\theta)Nc=0----(1)

\sumFy=0

Nccos\theta+Fcsin\theta-Nb=0

Nccos\theta+0.3Ncsin\theta-Nc=0

Nc[cos\theta+0.3sin\theta-1]=0--------(2)

Solving eq (1) and eq (2)

\theta=33.4

Step 3:

As the roller is a two force member

2(90-\phi)+\theta=180

\phi=\theta/2

\phi=Tan(\muN/N)-1

\phi=16.7

\theta=2x16.7=33.4

d would be the most obvious choice to this question. leaders are supposed to herd their underlings like a shepherd to sheep. a leader should also listen to others when they are talking to one other to gain a better understanding of their mission and surroundings.
