Solve Prob. 8.110 assuming that the drive drum A is rotating counterclockwise.
Prob. 8.110 In the pivoted motor mount shown the weight W of the 175-lb motor is used to maintain tension in the drive belt. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction between the flat belt and drums A and B is 0.40, and neglecting the weight of platform CD, determine the largest couple that can be transmitted to drum B when the drive drum A is rotating clockwise.
