Question 1 (20 points)
A block has a mass of M=10 kg is pressed by a force P against a vertical wall. The coefficient of
static friction between the block and the wall is 0,5.
a. If the angle @ is 30°, and P= 130 N show by calculations, whether the block will slide upwards
or downwards or stays stationary (4 points)
% Calculate the magnitude of the force P required to hold the block from sliding down. (8 points
