Identify coefficient of friction-tape and the drums


Solve the below problem:

Q: A recording tape passes over the 20-mm-radius drive drum B and under the idler drum C. Knowing that the coefficients of friction between the tape and the drums are µs = 0.40 and µk = 0.30 and that drum C is free to rotate, determine the smallest allowable value of P if slipping of the tape on drum B is not to occur.
