Block A in the figure shown has a mass of 10 kg and block B has a mass of 20 kg. The coefficients of static friction are 0.5 between the two blocks, and 0.15 between the lower block and the supporting surface. Calculate the force P that will cause motion to impend.

(a) Block A in the figure weighs 60.0 N_ The coeflicient of static friction between the block and the surface on which it rests 1S 0.25 The weight w is 12.0 N and the system is in equilibrium: Find the friction force exerted on block A (b) Find the maximum weight for which the system will remain in equilibrium:
A 2.5 $\mathrm{kg}$ block is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force $\vec{F}$ of magnitude 6.0 $\mathrm{N}$ and a vertical force $\vec{P}$ are then applied to the block (Fig. $6-17 ) .$ The coefficients of friction for the block and surface are $\mu_{x}=0.40$ and $\mu_{k}=0.25 .$ Determine the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block if the magnitude of $\vec{P}$ is (a) $8.0 \mathrm{N},(\mathrm{b}) 10 \mathrm{N},$ and $(\mathrm{c}) 12 \mathrm{N} .$
