The uniform 50-kg plank in Fig. (a) is resting on friction surfaces at A and B.

The
coefficients of static friction are shown in the figure. If a 80-kg man starts walking
from A toward B, determine the distance x when the plank will start to slide.

Answer 2.14m
The two 200-N blocks are pushed apart by the 15◦ wedge of negligible
weight. The angle of static friction is 12◦ at all contact surfaces. Determine the
the force P required to start the blocks moving.

Answer 48.6N
The 150-N weight is attached to a rope that passes over the fixed cylinders
A and B. The coefficient of static friction between the rope and the cylinders is
0.3. Determine the smallest force P that keeps the system at rest.

Answer 31.2
The man pushes the 60-kg homogeneous crate with the horizontal force P.
Determine the largest distance h for which the crate will slide without tipping.
