1. The elements of a deodorant dispenser are shown in the figure. To advance the deodorant D, the knob C is turned. The threaded shaft engages the threads in the movable deodorant base A; the shaft has no threads at the fixed support B. The 6-mm-diameter double square thread has a lead of 5 mm. Determine the coefficient of static friction µ,s for which the deodorant will not retract under the action of the force P. Neglect friction at B.
2. Determine the force P required to force the 10° wedge under the 90-kg uniform crate which rests against the small stop at A. The coefficient of friction for all surfaces is 0.40.
