Chapter 8.4, Problem 8.104P
A hawser is wrapped two full turns around a capstan head. By exerting a 160-lb force on the free end of the hawser, a sailor can resist a force of 10,000 lb on the other end of the hawser. Determine (a) the coefficient of static friction between the hawser and the capstan, (b) the number of times the hawser should be wrapped around the capstan if a 40,000-lb force is to be resisted by the same 160-lb force.
