Question 1.
The stick 4B, tightly wedged between the
knob 4 and the wall at B, is keeping the
door locked. A person, on the other side,
is attempting to open the door by
applying the force F = 200 N on the
knob. The force is in a vertical plane
parallel to x-z plane and inclined with an
angle 40° with the horizontal. The stick
does not slide and can resist (without
breaking) a force, along its axis 4B, up to
180.N.
Can this person open the door? Explain
why
Note: Ignore the size of the knob and
assume the force F to be acting directly
on the stick at A :

Question 2.
Consider the system of ropes shown in the
Figure. The mass M =255 kg is suspended at B
and rope CD is vertical. Determine:
a) Force F required to keep the system in
‘equilibrium when @=30°
b) Angle @ that minimizes the force F
