Q.
Calculate the force $F$ that is applied horizontally at the axle of the wheel which is necessary to raise the wheel over the obstacle of height $0.4 \,m$. Radius of wheel is $1 \,m$ and mass $=10 \,kg \cdot F$ is
System of Particles and Rotational Motion
Solution:
Taking moments of forces about point $P$, we get
$F \times 0.6=100 \times 0.8$
or $F=\frac{100 \times 0.8}{0.6} N =\frac{800}{6} N$
$ =\frac{400}{3} N =133.3\, N$
