*Image copyright © Pearson Education, Inc. Shared with current students using accompanying text by the instructor solely for the purpose of teaching the course and assessing student learning. You should not distribute this document to anyone.*

---

**Determine the force \( P \) to move block \( B \). The weights of the blocks are:**

\[ W_A = 50 \, N \]

\[ W_B = 25 \, N \]

\[ W_C = 15 \, N \]

**The friction coefficients are:**

\[ \mu_{AB} = 0.3 \] (between block \( A \) and block \( B \))

\[ \mu_{BC} = 0.4 \] (between block \( B \) and block \( C \))

\[ \mu_{CD} = 0.35 \] (between block \( C \) and the floor)

---

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows three blocks labeled \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \), stacked vertically on top of block \( D \), which represents the floor. 

- Block \( A \) is on top, followed by \( B \), then \( C \) at the bottom, directly in contact with the surface \( D \).
- A horizontal force \( P \) is applied to the right on block \( B \). 
- Each interface between the blocks and the floor has a corresponding coefficient of friction, indicating resistance to sliding:
  - Between \( A \) and \( B \): \( \mu_{AB} = 0.3 \)
  - Between \( B \) and \( C \): \( \mu_{BC} = 0.4 \)
  - Between \( C \) and the floor: \( \mu_{CD} = 0.35 \)

---

**Answer:**

\[ P = 45 \, N \]
