A rope is hung over a stationary drum with weights on each end (100N; 400N). The rope is just on the point of slipping. What is the coefficient of friction, and wrapped number. And also, if we take the same rope and making 1% turns around a stationary horizontal drum to support a heavy weight. If the coefficient of friction is Almost the same, what weight can be supported by exerting a 50-lb force at the other end of the rope?

Question
A rope is hung over a stationary drum with weights on each end (100N;
400N). The rope is just on the point of slipping. What is the coefficient of friction, and
wrapped number. And also, if we take the same rope and making 14 turns around a
stationary horizontal drum to support a heavy weight. If the coefficient of friction is
Almost the same, what weight can be supported by exerting a 50-lb force at the other
end of the rope?
