Solved: The coefficients of static and kinetic friction
Chapter 8, Problem 8-37(choose chapter or problem)
The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drum and brake bar are \(\mu_{s}=0.4 \text { and } \mu_{k}=0.3 \text {, }\), respectively. If M = 50 N \(\cdot\) m and P = 85 N, determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pin O. Neglect the weight and thickness of the brake. The drum has a mass of 25 kg.

QUESTION:
The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the drum and brake bar are \(\mu_{s}=0.4 \text { and } \mu_{k}=0.3 \text {, }\), respectively. If M = 50 N \(\cdot\) m and P = 85 N, determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pin O. Neglect the weight and thickness of the brake. The drum has a mass of 25 kg.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 10
In order for the brake to hold the drum, friction force at B must be less than its maximum friction force
If this friction force can't stop the drum, friction force is equal:
