Facc
Consider force F at G, reactions at B and D. Extend lines of action for fullỵ-developed fric-
tion DE and BE to find the point of concurrencỵ at E for impending motion to the left. The
critical angle is θcr. Resolve force F into components Facc and Fcr. Facc is related to mass and
acceleration. Pin accelerates to left for anỵ angle 0 < θ < θcr. When θ > θcr, no magnitude of
F will move the pin.

Consider force F ′ at G, reactions at A and C. Extend lines of action for fullỵ-developed fric-
tion AE ′ and CE ′ to find the point of concurrencỵ at E ′ for impending motion to the left. The
critical angle is θc′r. Resolve force F ′ into components Fa′ cc and Fc′r. Fa′ cc is related to mass
and acceleration. Pin accelerates to right for anỵ angle 0 < θ ′ < θc′r. When θ ′ > θc′r, no mag-
nitude of F ′ will move the pin.
The intent of the question is to get the student to draw and understand the free bodỵ in
order to recognize what it teaches. The graphic approach accomplishes this quicklỵ. It is im-
portant to point out that this understanding enables a mathematical model to be constructed,
and that there are two of them.
This is the simplest problem in mechanical engineering. Using it is a good waỵ to begin a
course.
What is the role of pin diameter d?
Ỵes, changing the sense of F changes the response.
