Simon: So you mean the picture to the right is correct?
Cuz, if so the truncated cone would be the same as for a wedge (as one could believe), I felt this what a kind of "dummy question" since the weight always equl the normal force plus the tangential force (and not that the normal force equals...
Thanks for your replies Simon and Ritz physics!
I will try to be more precise, which of the two diagrams are correct, the one to the right or the one to the left? The diagrams show the reaction force of the surface of the hole on ONE of the sides, but of course (in 2D) there would be a similar...
Hi,
I have a question about basic statics.
I have heard from someone that the forces acting on a truncated cone in a hole of corresponding geometry is different from an ordinary block sliding down a wedge, since the normal force on one side of the cone will be affected by the normal force on...
