Question-3 (20 pts)
The cylindrical reel has a 200kg mass. A cable is wrapped around the drum with radius R1=
0.5m. The reel has cylindrical extensions (rigidly attached to it) with radius R2=0.3m. The
cylindrical extensions rest on a supporting structure as shown. The kinetic friction coefficient
between the cylindrical extensions and the horizontal and vertical supporting surfaces is mu _(k)=0.2.
If the cable is being pulled by the force F as shown, and the reel is turning at a constant rate:
(a) Draw a free body diagram showing all forces acting on the reel. (4 pts).
(b) Write the equilibrium equations required to find the value of F and the reaction forces at the
supporting surfaces. (10 pts)
(c) Determine the value F and the reaction forces at the supports. (6 pts)
