(choose chapter or problem)

The figure shows a device, called a jam cleat, which secures a rope under tension by reason of large friction forces developed. For the position shown determine the minimum coefficient \(\mu_s\) of static friction between the rope and the cam surfaces for which the cleat will be self-locking. Also find the magnitude of the total reaction R on each of the cam bearings.
