A body of weight 500 N is lying on a rough plane inclined at an angle of 25° with the horizontal. It is supported by an effort (P) parallel to the plane as shown in the figure below. Determine the minimum and maximum values of P, for which the equilibrium ca exist, if the angle of friction is 20°. 25° 500 N
