A block (A) of weight 5 KN is to be raised by means of a 20° wedge (B) by the application of a horizontal force (P) as shown in Figure. The block A is constrained to move vertically by the application of a horizontal force (S). Find the magnitude of the forces F and S, when the coefficient of friction at the contact surfaces is 0.25. *
