Answer:
T = 3600 lb
Explanation:
Given:
- coefficient of static friction @a u_a = 0.2
- coefficient of static friction @b u_b = 0.3
- Weight of the loaded bin W = 8500 lb
Find:
- Find the force in the cable needed to begin the lift.
Solution:
- Draw the forces on the diagram. see attachment.
- Take sum of moments about point B as zero:
           (M)_b =  W*12 - N_a * 22 = 0
           N_a = W*12 / 22 = 8500*12 / 22
           N_a = 4636.364 lb
- Compute friction force F_a @ point A:
           F_a = u_a*N_a = 4636.364*0.2
           F_a = 927.2727 lb
- Take sum of moments about point A as zero:
           -W*10 - F_b*sin(30)*22+ 22*N_b*cos(30) + 22*T*sin(30) = 0
Where, Â Â Â Â Â F_b = u_b*N_b = N_b*0.3 Â Â Â Â Â Â
Hence, Â Â Â Â Â -85000 - 3.3*N_b + 11sqrt(3)*N_b + 11 T = 0
           15.753*N_b + 11*T = 85000   ...... 1  Â
- Take sum of forces in x-direction equal to zero:
           T*cos(30) - N_b*sin(30) - u_b*N_b*cos(30) - F_a = 0
           T*cos(30) - 0.75981*N_b = 927.2727  ..... 2
- Solve two equation simultaneously:
           T = 3600 lb , N_b = 2882 lb
