Chapter 8, Problem 8.61(choose chapter or problem)
In 8.60, determine the angle that the face of the bolt should form with the line BC if the force P required to close the door is to be the same for both the position shown and the position when B is almost at the strike plate. PROBLEM 8.60 The spring of the door latch has a constant of 1.8 lb/in. and in the position shown exerts a 0.6-lb force on the bolt. The coefficient of static friction between the bolt and the strike plate is 0.40; all other surfaces are well lubricated and may be assumed frictionless. Determine the magnitude of the force P required to start closing the door.
