8.59 A 6° steel wedge is driven into the end of an ax handle to lock
the handle to the ax head. The coefficient of static friction between the wedge
and the handle is 0.35. Knowing that a force P of magnitude 60 lb was re-
quired to insert the wedge to the equilibrium position shown, determine the
magnitude of the forces exerted on the handle by the wedge after force P is
removed.
