Solved: The uniform disk fits loosely over a fixed shaft
Chapter 8, Problem 8-124(choose chapter or problem)
The uniform disk fits loosely over a fixed shaft having a diameter of 40 mm. If the coefficient of static friction between the disk and the shaft is \(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}\) = 0.15, determine the smallest vertical force P, acting on the rim, which must be applied to the disk to cause it to slip on the shaft. The disk has a mass of 20 kg
