Chapter 8, Problem 8.37

(choose chapter or problem)

Bar AB is attached to collars that can slide on the inclined rods shown. A force P is applied at Point D located at a distance a from end A. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction s between each collar and the rod upon which it slides is 0.30 and neglecting the weights of the bar and of the collars, determine the smallest value of the ratio a/L for which equilibrium is maintained.
