Question

The coefficient of friction between the block and the rail is μs=0.2. Knowing that the block weighs 500N and θ=45, determine:

P
0 = 45
35°
W = 500 N
The coefficient of friction between the block and the rail is μs = 0.2. Knowing that the block
weighs 500 N and 0 = 45°, determine:
a)
the maximum value of P before the block starts to move up the incline, i.e. impending upward
motion.
