Chapter 6, Problem 6.10P
For the block-and-wedge system shown in Figure 6.17 , 
calculate the force P required to initiate upward motion of the block. The block supports a load of 700 Ib, the slope angle of the wedge is 9°, and the coefficient of static friction on the two surfaces of the wedge is 0.25. The vertical surface (C-C) is frictionless. Compare the result with Example 6.7 /.

A 200 lb block is in contact with a plane inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal. A force P, parallel to and acting up the plane, is applied to the body. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.20, find:
a. the value of P to just cause the motion to impend up the plane
b. the value of P just to prevent motion down the plane
c. the magnitude and direction of the friction force F if P= 80 lbs
The 2225 N block shown is in contact with 45° incline. The coefficient of static friction is 0.25. Compute the value of the horizontal force P necessary to
a. just start the block up the incline
b. just prevent motion down the incline
c. If P = 1780 N, what is the amount and direction of the friction force?
Consider a 14.5 kg rectangular block of length 0.40 m attached to a spring with a
spring constant of 30.5 N/m.
