Chapter 8, Problem 8-104(choose chapter or problem)
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
\(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}\) = 0.3.

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
\(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}\) = 0.3.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
First, we'll isolate and draw the free-body diagram of disk B.
