Homework Statement
A uniform rod of length 2a and weight W rests at an angle of 60° to the horizontal with one end hinged to a horizontal plane and one end resting on a cylinder of radius a and weight W that is itself resting on the horizontal plane. The axis of the cylinder is perpendicular to the vertical plane containing the rod. The contacts between the rod and the cylinder and between the cylinder and the ground are rough. Find the ratio of the frictional force to the normal reaction force at the point of contact of: i) the cylinder with the plane and ii) the rod with the cylinder
