Question

The free body diagram shows the free body diagram of the wedge when it is being driven into the wood. Draw the free body diagram after the hammer is removed. If the weight of the wedge is 5.5 lbs., what taper angle is required to make it self locking? You may assume the friction coefficient between iron and wood is 0.45.

Step 1

- The forces acting on the wedge are the normal force (N) acting perpendicular to the surface of the wood, the weight of the wedge (W) acting vertically downward, and the frictional force (F) acting parallel to the surface of the wood in the opposite direction of Show more…
