Determine the minimum effective coefficient of friction at


1. Calculate the torque M which the engine of the pickup truck must supply to the rear axle to roll the front wheels over the curbing from a rest position if the rear wheels do not slip. Determine the minimum effective coefficient of friction at the rear wheels to prevent slipping. The mass of the loaded truck with mass center at G is 1900 kg.

2. The screw of the small press has a mean diameter of 25 mm and has a single square thread with a lead of 8 mm. The flat thrust bearing at A is shown in the enlarged view and has surfaces which are well worn. If the coefficient of friction for both the threads and the bearing at A is 0.25, calculate the design torque M on the handwheel required (a) to produce a compressive force of 4 kN and (b) to loosen the press from the 4-kN compression.
