Question

A 4285 block is held in horizontal position as shown by a wedge at B. If the coefficient of friction between the block & the wedge is 0.25 and that between the wedge & the floor is 0.3, is the wedge self-locking?


a. self-locking

b. not self-locking

c. cannot be determined

A 4285N block is held in horizontal position as
