The three flat blocks are positioned on the 30° incline, as shown in Fig. and a force P parallel to the incline is applied to the middle block. The upper block is prevented from moving by a wire which attaches it to the fixed support. The coefficient of static friction for each of the three pairs of surfaces is shown. Determine the maximum value which P may have before any slipping takes place.

The three flat blocks are positioned on the 30° incline, as shown in Fig. and a force P parallel to
the incline is applied to the middle block. The upper block is prevented from moving by a wire
which attaches it to the fixed support. The coefficient of static friction for each of the three pairs
of surfaces is shown. Determine the maximum value which P may have before any slipping takes
place.
