3.4-7 Force P is applied to Block 2 parallel to an inclined smooth surface to hold the two blocks in equilibrium (see figure). The blocks are connected by a cable that runs over a frictionless pulley at A. (a) Find the required range of values of force P to maintain equilibrium. (b) Revise your solution if friction between Block 2 and the inclined surface (µ. = 0.2) is now

I was not sure how to write the equllibrium equations for this problem and find P.

Transcribed Image Text:3.4-7 Force P is applied to Block 2 parallel to an
inclined smooth surface to hold the two blocks in
equilibrium (see figure). The blocks are connected
by a cable that runs over a frictionless pulley at A.
(a) Find the required range of values of force P to
maintain equilibrium.
(b) Revise your solution if friction between Block 2
and the inclined surface (u. = 0.2) is now
considered.
