The uniform blocks A and B weigh 90lb and 60lb, respectively. The coefficients of static friction at the three contacting surfaces are shown in the figure. Find the maximum value for P in the direction shown which maintains static equilibrium. The sliding surfaces are flat and parallel to the applied force P.
