Currently Playing: PSAD Refresher 28: Tipping of Container (Friction)

Check out our Review Center: https://www.facebook.com/share/1AC24Wsb9v/?mibextid=wwXIfr SITUATION: The weight of the cylindrical tank is negligible in comparison to the weight of water it contains (water weighs 62.4 lb/ft3). The coefficient of static friction between the tank and the horizontal surface is μ. 1. Assuming a full tank, find the smallest force P (N) required to tip the tank. A. 442.36 C. 820.56 B. 163.24 D. 414.35 2. Assuming a full tank, find the smallest μ that would allow tipping to take place. A. 0.540 C. 0.421 B. 0.164 D. 0.291 3. If the force P = 200 lb initiates tipping, determine the depth (ft) of water in the tank. A. 1.52 C. 1.81 B. 1.63 D. 2.15 Thanks for watching!
