Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
If the cylinder is kept symmetrically between the V block we will get equal normal reactions at both the surfaces.
Calculation:
Given:
The angle between V block inclined surfaces = 2α
Considering the V block of symmetrical shape and the system is under equilibrium we have,
2 × N × cos (90 - α) = W
2 × N × sin α = W
N =
Hence, the normal reaction at point A is
