A uniform 3 in x 5 in rectangular plate weighing 1.0 lb is suspended in equilibrium by hinge AB (aligned with the x axis) and force P aligned in the y-direction. The force, P, is applied along the long edge at a point a distance d =0.5 inches from the outer edge. The plates long edge makes a 10 angle to the y-axis. Draw the FBD of the plate separated from rod AB and use it to calculate P and all reaction forces at A and B. BONUS: (5 points) What is the maximum friction force rod AB can exert on the plate if coefficients of friction between the materials are s=0.30 and k=0.20. P W A B d
