The 10-lb uniform rod AB is held in the position shown by the force P. Knowing that the coefficient of friction is 0.20 at A and B, determine the smallest value of P for which equilibrium is maintained.
Fluid Statics 1 Matter = Solid and fluids Fluids = Liquids and gases Characteristics Solid Fluid Shape Definite Takes the shape of container Behavior under Offer permanent resistanceOffers no permanent applied load Deforms but deformation resistance disappears when load is removed 2 Liquid Gas Incompressible [density constant]: Compressible [density changes]: Given mass of liquid will occupy a fixed volume. Given mass of gas has no fi
