Question

I was thinking can be solved using F=ma in the x and the y direction. Study, for example, the bottom right cylinder. In the y direction, you have the weight of the cylinder, the y-component of the friction, between the top cylinder and the bottom right cylinder, the y-component of the push caused by the top cylinder on the bottom right cylinder. The sum of the y-component of all these 3 forces is equal to 3W/2. In the x-direction you have the push coming in from the bottom left cylinder and acting on the bottom right cylinder, you have the x-component of the friction between the top cylinder and the bottom right cylinder, the friction from the ground acting on the bottom cylinder and another force. To get a minimum angle set the horizontal force acting by the left cylinder on the right cylinder equal to zero. Not sure though. I was thinking can be solved using F=ma in the x and the y direction.

Explanation / Answer

Since it is in a steady state therefore u can use force balance equation.

And the method u r using is totally correct. It is the exact method . If u still need the solution i can provide u. Either i can provide u here or u can mail me on sunvish28@gmail.com
