Fig.Q.1

Knowing that the coefficient of friction between the 25kg

block and the incline is s 0.25 , determine (a) the smallest value of
P required to start the block moving up the incline, (b) the
corresponding value of .

DO NOT FORGET!

Dont forget to write the units!

Be neat! If your handwriting is bad, use
computer. Points will be reduced from
poorly prepared H.W.s.
Dont cheat! Team work is OK to
discuss the problems not to prepare the
H.W.s. If you just copy from one
anothers H.W., both will receive a
zero.
Use the cover page given on OLB!
