QUESTION:
The 20-kg cylinder A and 50-kg cylinder B are connected together using a rope that passes around a rough peg two and a half turns. If the cylinders are on the verge of moving, determine the coefficient of static friction between the rope and the peg.
ANSWER:
The coefficient of static friction between the rope and the peg can be determined using the following equation:
? = (Fmax / (mA + mB)) - (g/(2?r)),
where Fmax is the maximum force that can be applied to the peg
