The spool weighs 100kg, at piont A and B the [tex]\mu[/tex]=0.3
Determine the maximum force P without causing the spool to move. (see attached)
This is what I attained from Back of the Book:
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]Fx=0; 0=NA-NB(0.3)
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]Fy=0; 0=NA(0.3)+NB+P-100(9.81)
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]MO=0; 0=P(0.6)+NB(0.9)-0.3NB(0.9)-0.3NA(0.9)
Which is close to what I arrived at, but summing the moments I left out NB(0.9) which I don't understand, isn't NBs arm of action 0?
Am I wrong? if so could you explain?
or, preferably, is the book wrong?
