A cylinder of radius r = 1 m and mass m = 5 × 10 3 kg is at rest on the edges of a structure as shown. Distance a is 0.5 m and b = √ √ 3/2 m. Reaction force on edges A and B are
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
sin α α = 
or α α = 30 0
and sin β β = 
or β β = 60 0
Then F 1 = mg cos α α
= 5 × 10 3 × 9.8 × cos 30
= 42.6 kN
and F 2 = mg cos β β
= 5 × 10 3 × 9.8 cos 60
= 24.5 kN.
