Question
- All problems will use the conventional Cartesian coordinate system unless noted otherwise.
- Positive x-axis points to the right,
- Positive y-axis points up,
- Angles are measured CCW (counter-clock-wise) from the positive x-axis.
-
When a numerical input is necessary:
- Enter your answer to 4 significant figures. Use a leading zero for numbers between -1 & 1.
- Do NOT use Scientific Notation.
- Angles must be reported with a minimum of 2 decimal places.
- Report directions as positive angles. For instance, 350 degrees, not -10 degrees.
- Use the "standard" coordinate system unless noted otherwise.
- Regarding the magnitude of an angle between two objects that could be reported with more than one value, submit the smaller value.
- Magnitude shall always be reported as a positive number.
- Value shall be reported either as a positive or negative number based upon the application. When reporting a value, include the sign.

Problem-DD:
Consider FIG-DD in the appendix.
Note:
- For Blocks “A” & “B” & “C”:
- The mass of “A” is 30 kg.
- The mass of “B” is 50 kg.
- The mass of “C” is 40 kg.
- Blocks “A” & “B” are in contact.
- Blocks “B” & “C” are in contact.
- Blocks “C” & “inclined plane” are in contact.
- The angle above the horizontal of the inclined plane is Θ = 30°.
- The static coefficients of friction:
- Surface-1: 0.30
- Surface-2: 0.40
- Surface-3: 0.45
- The kinetic coefficients of friction:
- Surface-1: 0.23
- Surface-2: 0.37
- Surface-3: 0.42
FIND:
- Calculate:
- The maximum force of P, such that motion does not occur.
- When this maximum P is applied, determine the remaining forces on the Blocks.
-
NOTE: Surface-3 is the surface between Block-C and the Inclined Plane.
- For Blocks “A” & “B” & “C”:
