Chapter 6, Problem 6.12P

Two blocks, each having a mass of 100 kg and resting on a horizontal surface, are to be pushed apart using a 30° wedge, as shown. The coefficient of static friction for all contact surfaces is 0.25. Calculate the vertical force P required to start the wedge and the blocks in motion.

A block of mass 40 kg is resting on a rough surface. The coefficient of static friction between the surface and block is 0.43. Calculate the minimum force that slide the block from its position.
A block with a mass of 100 kg (left-block) is connected to another block of mass M (right-block) by a cable that passes over a fixed drum as shown below. The coefficient of static friction between the left-block and the floor is 0.45, between the right-block and floor is 0.4, and between the cable and the fixed drum is 0.25. Ignore tipping (overturning). Determine the minimum mass of the left-block for which motion does not occur.
In Fig. box A weighs 10 lb while box B weighs 20 lb. The coefficient of friction between box A and the inclined surface is 0.45; between box B and the hori- zontal surface, 0.5. The pullevs are all frictionless. Deter- mine the maximum weight of box C such that no motion will occur. Which motion would occur first? 2.0ft 20 lb 3.0 ft 1.9 ft 1.5ft 10 b 2.0 t
