Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Statement
**Objective:**
Determine the maximum and minimum values of weight \( W \) that can be applied without causing the 25-kg block to slip.
**Details:**
- The coefficient of static friction between the block and the inclined plane is \( \mu_s = 0.2 \).
- The coefficient of static friction between the rope and the drum \( D \) is \( \mu'_s = 0.3 \).
### Diagram Explanation
The diagram illustrates:
1. **Inclined Plane:**
- The plane is set at an angle of \( 45^\circ \).
- A 25-kg block rests on this inclined plane.
2. **Block and Rope System:**
- The block on the plane is connected to a rope.
3. **Pulley System:**
- The rope passes over a drum labeled \( D \).
- A weight \( W \) is hanging vertically from the rope after the drum.
### Concepts Involved
- **Static Friction:**
- Prevents the block from slipping on the plane.
- **Tension in the Rope:**
- Tension varies across the different sections around the drum due to friction.
- **Forces on the Inclined Plane:**
- The weight component acting down the plane.
- Frictional force opposing this motion.
By analyzing these forces, the required values of \( W \) can be calculated to ensure equilibrium, thus preventing the block from slipping.
