Friction:


What is the maximum weight of the block B which can be supported in the manner shown? (The pulley is smooth).


Note that the rod is nailed to the disc in the "black" region. The rod is also massless.

The coeff. of friction at the contacts b/w disc and surfaces is .3.

  3. there is friction on the wall too..
    also, for taking different direction of friction by the wall, i am getting different answers..

  5. Consider friction from the vertical wall also.

  6. confirm the equations
    mg+N+*R=Mg
    R=*N
    mg(6)=*R(2)+*N(2)

    *=coeff. of friction
    N=normal due to ground
    R=force by wall
    m=block
    M=disc

  7. tell about the equations sambhav

  8. T=m1g

    T + N1 + (mu)(N2) = m2g

    (mu)(N1)=N2
