So I have questions on two separate questions. The first question is about the fbd of the plate attached to the pin. How can there be an Ax since there’s no other force in the horizontal direction wouldn’t the plate start moving on the x-direction due to imbalanced forces.
Second question about the elevator question. I knew how to do the problem but I do have some confusion. I have my work below and for the 0.4Nb=100*1.5*alpha part, I’m confused bc since friction is the only force horizontal force acting on the block wouldn’t the block move and slip?
