The document contains 11 problems related to mechanical engineering and friction. The problems involve determining forces required to move or hold stationary objects that are in contact and subject to friction. Variables include coefficients of static and kinetic friction, masses of objects, angles of incline, and applied forces. Solutions require applying equations that relate friction, normal forces, and other applied forces.

1. Determine the force P required to start the wedge shown in Fig. The coe cient of friction for all surfaces in contact is 150 .
2. The 4m long ladder AB weighs 120 N. It rests against a vertical wall and on the horizontal oor, as is shown in g. What must the minimum coe cient of friction µ be for equilibrium? Assume µ to be the same for both surfaces.
3. Determine the value of P that will cause the 70-kg block in Figure to move. The coe cient of static friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.25. 4. Will the 200N block shown in Fig. be held in equilibrium by the horizontal force of 300 N? The coe cient of static friction is 0.3.
5. What horizontal forces P on the wedges B and C are necessary to raise the weight of 200 kN resting on A? See Fig. Assume µ between the wedges and the ground is 0.25 and µ between the wedges and A is 0.2. Also assume symmetry of loading.
6. Block B rests on block A and is attached by a horizontal rope BC to a wall as shown in Fig. What force P is necessary to cause motion of A to impend? The coe cient of friction between A and B is 0.25, and between A and the oor is 0.333. A has a mass of 14 kg and B has a mass of 9 kg.
