Question

The 20-kg motor has a center of gravity at G and is pin connected at C to maintain a tension in the drive belt. Determine the smallest counterclockwise twist or torque M that must be supplied by the motor to turn the disk B if wheel A locks and causes the belt to slip over the disk. No slipping occurs at A. The coefficient of static friction between the belt and the disk is ms = 0.3. 50 mm M
