negligible weight. If the pulley fits loosely on a

12-mm-diameter fixed shaft, and the coefficient of

static friction is s = 0.2, determine the minimum

force F required to start the pulley rotating

clockwise.

of friction are

the wheel to rotate about the contact point

A free-body diagram of a front wheel of the cart would appear

similar to the free-body diagram of the rear wheel. Thus the

equilibrium equations for a front wheel are identical to those

above except the subscript "1" is replaced by "2":

Fx = 0: Rx2 F2 = 0 (7)

Fy = 0: G2 98.1 N Ry2

= 0 (8)

MO = 0: (F2)(100 mm) + (Rx2)

2 + (Ry2

)2 (rf) = 0 (9)

Substituting the value rf = 0.7486 mm and then solving Eqs. 1-9

gives

Rx1 = F1 = 1.83 N Rx2 = F2 = 1.84 N G1 = 342.89 N

G2 = 343.81 N Ry1

8. The 100-kg cart has four 300-mm-diameter wheels,

30-mm-diameter axles, and center of mass G.

Determine the angle for which the cart will roll down

the incline at constant speed. Also determine the

reactions from the incline acting on each wheel. The

coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2. Assume that

rolling resistance and the weight of the wheels are

negligible, the wheels fit loosely on the axles, and the

axles do not rotate.

circle of friction are

Rolling resistance is negligible (The

coefficient of rolling resistance is

zero), so the force from the plane

acting on the wheel is concentrated

at a single point the point where

the wheel is tangent to the plane.

Wheel

Relative position of wheel and axle when

cart is moving (As the friction force from the

plane increases from zero, it causes the

wheel to rotate about the contact point P1

initially. But this rotation causes the contact

point to shift up and to the right on the axle.

As the force increases further and the wheel

rotates more, the contact point moves further

right and up until slipping occurs).

We can save some work if we

use the fact that the wheel is a

two-force member. Thus the

force R from the axle must

have the same line of action as

the resultant of the forces F1

and G1 from the inclined plane.

That is, both lines of action

pass through P2 and the point

of contact, A, with the inclined

plane. It follows from

geometry that F1 and G1 must

be related by the angle :

10 From geometry,

1.1962 mm, by Eq. 1

= 0.4569°

Using this result in Eq. 5 gives

tan = F1/G1 (Eq. 5 repeated)

or

tan 0.4569° = F1/G1 (6)

Because the geometry is the same for both wheels,

tan 0.4569° = F2/G2 (7)

Solving Eqs. 2-4, 6 and 7 gives

F1 = 1.96 N, G1 = 246 N

F2 = 1.95 N, G2 = 244 N
