4-6. A company makes garage doors as shown in the figure. The garage
door is pulled by a rope with a constant force F that will move the door horizontally a distance to the right.
is
a random variable that follows a normal distribution. The distances of a number
of operations are measured in 4 seconds, and this results in a distribution
. The door has a mass of 20 kg and does not touch the
ground by hanging from two rollers, A and
B. Find the force F and the vertical reaction forces at
the rollers.
Solution:
Thus,
Therefore
