1) Given , weight of block ,A =5 kN

Anglr of wedge =20o

coeeficeient of friction between all the surface ,

  

First of all consider the equilibrium of the block,

1) weight of 5 kN acting downward

2) Reaction force R1 on the face of contact with

wedge.

3) foce S in horizontal direction

Q: A block A of weigh 5 kN is to be raised by means of 20 degree

wedge B by the application of horizontal force P.
However, block A
is constrained to move vertically by the application of a
horizontal force S. Find the magnitude of the
Force P (in kN) when
the coefficient of friction at the contact surface is 0.25

Q: 1. Find the least value of P required to cause the

system of blocks shown in the figure to have impending motion to
the
left. The coefficient of friction under each block is
0.20.
2. The block A in the figure supports a load W and is
to be raised
by forcing the wedge B under it. If the angle of
friction is 10° at all surfaces in contact, determine the maximum
wedge
angle α that...
