Question

One end of a uniform 4.50-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable at an angle of ? = 37

One end of a uniform 4.50-m-long rod of weight Fg is supported by a cable at an angle of ? = 37A degree 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 = 0.565. Determine the minimum distance x from 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. m

Explanation / Answer

Sum forces in the horizontal

T*cos37=N
where T is the tension in the cable and N is the normal force at the wall
sum forces in the vertical
T*sin37+T*cos37*
