A "hawser" is wrapped around a fixed "capstan" to secure a ship for docking. If the tension in the rope, caused by the ship, is 1500 Ib, determine the least number of complete turns the rope must be rapped around the capstan in order to prevent slipping of the rope. The greatest horizontal force that a longshoreman can exert on the rope is 50 lb. The coefficient of static friction is 4= 0.3. 50 Ib 1500 Ib
