Question: The spool of wire having a mass M rests on the ground at A and against the wall at B. Determine the forces acting on

The spool of wire having a mass M rests on the ground at A and against the wall at B. Determine the forces acting on the spool at A and B for the given force P.

The coefficient of static friction between the spool and the ground at point A is μs. The wall at B is smooth.


Units Used:

kN = 103 N

Given:

P = 800 N a = 0.45 m

M = 150 kg b = 0.25 m

μ s = 0.35
