- The chain binder is used to secure loads of logs, lumber, pipe, and the like. If the tension T1 is 2.6 kN when θ = 22°, determine the force P required on the lever and the corresponding tension T2 for this position. Assume that the surface under A is perfectly smooth.Assume a = 110 mm, b = 430 mm.arrow_forwardThe weightless strut in the figure below is not attached to the wall; it is prevented from falling only by friction. (Let w = 365 N, L = 4.45 m and h = 2.95 m.) (a) Find the magnitude of the force of friction between the wall and the strut.(b) Find the normal force exerted by the wall on the strut.(c) Find the minimum coefficient of static friction.arrow_forwardA garage door is mounted on an overhead rail as shown below. The wheels at A and B have rusted so that they do not roll, but rather slide along the track. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.50. The distance between the wheels is 2.00 m, and each are 0.50 from the vertical sides of the door. The door is uniform and weighs 977 N. It is pushed to the left at constant speed by an external horizontal force. If the distance h is 1.54 m: a. What is the vertical component of the force exerted on the wheel A by the track? b. What is the vertical component of the force exerted on the wheel B by the track? c. Find the maximum value h can have without causing one wheel to leave the track. A В K 2.00 m h k- 3.00 m Figure 3.

The pulley does nothing other than change the direction of the force from the hanging mass.arrow_forwardThe figure below shows an arm that is balancing a carton of milk in the hand. The mass of the carton of milk is 1.07 kg, and F in the figure is the gravitational force on the carton. The biceps muscle applies a force F to the forearm directed up and to the right at an angle of 75.00 from vertical. The point where F is applied to the forearm is 8.00 cm to the left of the elbow joint and 25.0 cm to the right of the center of gravity of the milk carton.
