Question

One end of a uniform 4.20-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable at an angle of ? = 37 with the rod. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is ?s = 0.470. Determine the minimum distance xfrom point A at which an additional object, also with the same weight Fg, can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.

One end of a uniform 4.20-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable at an angle of ? = 37 with the rod. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is ?s = 0.470. Determine the minimum distance xfrom point A at which an additional object, also with the same weight Fg, can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.

Explanation / Answer

L = length of the rod = 4.2 m
Fg = weight of the rod = weight of the ball
? = angle of the cable = 37
