Question:

The wedge is used to level the member. Determine the reversed horizontal force -P that must be applied to pull the wedge out to the left. The coefficient of static friction between the wedge and the two surfaces of contact is μs. Neglect the weight of the wedge.


Units Used:

kN = 103 N

Given:

μ s = 0.15

θ = 5 deg

a = 600 mm

b = 500 mm

c = 250 mm

d = 3

e = 4

F1 = 8kN

F2 = 15kN



F2 P F2 4(NA) ('N)*r NA 4(NB) NB (b) (a)
