Engineering Mechanics
A semicircular disc rests on a horizontal surface with its top flat surface horizontal and circular portion touching down. The coefficient of friction between semi circular disc and horizontal surface is µ. This disc is to be pulled by a horizontal force applied at one edge and it always remains horizontal. When the disc is about to start moving, its top horizontal force will
Is the turning effect produced by a force, on the body, on which it acts
Is equal to the product of force acting on the body and the perpendicular distance of a point and the line of action of the force
All of these
Is equal to twice the area of the triangle, whose base is the line representing the force and whose vertex is the point, about which the moment is taken
