A block with weight W is pulled up a plane forming an angle a with the horizontal by a force P directed along the plane. μ If is the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane, derive an expression for the mechanical efficiency of the system. Show that the mechanical efficiency cannot exceed 1/2 if the block is to remain in place when the force P is removed.
A 150lb man stands on a 60lb bar to which a cable is fixed at B. The cable passes over two fixed pegs with coefficients of friction indicated. Assume that the arrangement of the pegs permits the cable to contact each peg over a total angle of 90-degrees (90-degrees per peg). Assume that the normal force exerted by the man on the bar acts downward through A. Find the largest force the man can exert on the cable and maintain the bar horizontal.
.A belt 200 mm wide and 7 mm thick drives a pulley at belt speed of 25 m/s. The density of the belt is 980 kg/m3 and the coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.23.
