They want the solution as an inequality in terms of \mu_s and theta, .i.e they want a LS and RS as LS < l/d < RS .

Homework Statement Consider the rod as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction at A and B is \mu_s. I'm trying to find how big and how small the ratio l/d can be for the rod to still be in equilibrium. I have calculated how big all forces are acting upon the rod in the case...
