There is a box with height 1.2 m, width 0.8 m and mass 50 kg. It contains a very expensive equipment, which cannot be tilted while moving. There is a rope connected to the top-right corner of the box that you can pull with. The static friction coefficient between the floor and the box is 0.4. Assuming the rope angle θ is 30 degrees and m/s2. a) Is it possible to move the box using the rope without tilting the box? (need to show details) b) What is the minimum force required to move the box on the floor?

Open with Google Docs The homogeneous semicylinder rests on a horizontal surface and is subjected to the force P applied to a cord firmly attached to its periphery. The force P is slowly increased and kept normal to the flat surface of the semicylinder. If slipping is observed just as 0 reaches 40°, determine the coefficient of static fric- tion u, and the value of P when slipping occurs. B 3.
