1. From the figure shown, two blocks weighing 150 N and resting on a horizontal surface are to be pushed apart by a 40° wedge. The angle of friction is 15° for all contact surfaces. a. What value of P is required to start movement of the blocks? Find, 1. R (for both 150 N blocks) 2. P b. Now would this answer be changed if the weight of one of the blocks increased to 250 N? Find 1. R (for 250 N blocks) 2. P 150 N 150N
