three logs |
|
Smooth, identical logs are piled in a stake truck. The truck is forced off the highway and comes to rest on an even keel lengthwise but with the bed at an angle θ with the horizontal. As the truck is unloaded, the removal of the log shown dotted leaves the remaining three in a condition where they are just ready to slide, that is, if θ were any smaller, the logs would fall down. Find θ. Answer : Solutions (listed by author) |
