(Solution) - Bar AB rests on the two quarter circle surfaces shown A -(2025 Original AI-Free Solution)
Paper Details
Bar AB rests on the two quarter-circle surfaces shown. A force P is applied at point C which is located at a distance a from end A. Neglecting the weight of the bar and knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the bar and each of the surfaces is 0.35, determine the smallest value of the ratio a/L for which the bar is in equilibrium.
