*8–60. Each block has a weight of 400 lb. Determine how far the force P can compress the spring until block B slips on block A. What is P for this to occur? Problem 8-60 P 30° k = 800 lb/ft m's = 0.5 WW W B A Ms = 0.2
Added by Charles Q.
Step 1
The forces include the weight of block B (400 lb), the normal force exerted by block A on block B, the frictional force between block A and block B, and the horizontal component of the force P. Show more…

Each block in (Figure 1) has a weight of 550 lb. Determine how far the force P can compress the spring until block B slips on block A. What is P for this to occur?

The 47-lb block rests on the rough surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.2. A force F = (40 + s^2) lb, where s is in ft, acts on the block in the direction shown. The spring is originally unstretched (s = 0) and the block is at rest (Figure 1). Part A Determine the power developed by the force the instant the block has moved s = 1.5 ft. Express your answer using three significant figures. k = 20 lb/ft
