Question 50
MENAT2 marksNeeds review
Two rigid massless rods PR and RQ are joined at frictionless pin-joint R and are resting on ground at P and Q, respectively, as shown in the figure. A vertical force
acts on the pin R as shown. When the included angle
, the rods remain in static equilibrium due to Coulomb friction between the rods and ground at locations P and Q. At
, impending slip occurs simultaneously at points P and Q. Then the ratio of the coefficient of friction at Q to that at P (
) is _________ (round off to two decimal places).
