In Fig. 5.28, C is a stone block weighing 6 kN. It is being raised slightly by means of two wooden wedges A andB with a force P on wedge B. The angle between the contacting surfaces of the wedge is 5°. If coefficient of friction is 0.3 for all contacting surfaces, compute the value of P required to impend upward motion of the block C. Neglect weight of the wedges.

A wooden block of mass 40 kg resting on an inclined plane is pulled upward by a force parallel to the plane. The plane is inclined at 13° with the horizontal. Coefficient of friction between the plane and the block is 0.16. Determine the force required to start the motion of the block on the plane.
Problem #10: A horizontal bar, 11 ft long and of negligible weight, rests on rough inclined planes as shown. The coefficient of friction for all contact surfaces is 0.27. What is the normal force at contact point A? How close to A may the 120 lb force be applied before motion impends?
A heavy cask (full of wine!) sits on an inclined plane. It is held in place by a rope that is attached to the cask and to a hook further up the inclined plane (at A). The rope comes off of the cask tangent to the cask. The mass of the cask is 40 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between the inclined plane and the cask is 0.25. What is the maximum value of 0 just before the cask begins to slip? Also, what is the tension in the rope when slipping is impending? Finally, if the inclined plane became icy, and the rope didn't break as the cask slipped, what would be remarkable about the lines of action of the W, N and T force vectors once equilibrium was re-established? 0.70 m 40
