Transcribed Image Text:The horizontal position of the 500-kg rectangular block of concrete is adjusted by the
5-degree wedge under the action of the force P. If the coefficient of static friction for
both wedge surfaces is 0.30 and if the coefficient of static friction between the block
and the horizontal surface is 0.60, determine the least force P required to move the
block.
