QUESTION:
A 10-kg cylinder D, which is attached to a small pulley B, is placed on the cord as shown. Determine the largest angles u so that the cord does not slip over the peg at C. The cylinder at E also has a mass of 10 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between the cord and the peg is
\(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}\) = 0.1.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 5
First, we'll isolate and draw the free-body diagram of the pulley B in order to determine the tension in the cable.
