Step 1
First, let's draw a free body diagram of the block on the inclined surface. We have the weight of the block acting vertically downwards, and the normal force and friction force acting perpendicular and parallel to the inclined surface, respectively. Show more…

A 2.17 kg block is held in equilibrium on an incline of angle q = 59.6° by a horizontal force, F, applied in the direction shown in the figure below. A) If the coefficient of static friction between the block and incline is μs = 0.308, determine the minimum value of F. B) Determine the normal force of the incline on the block.

A in Fig. P5.76 weighs $64.5 \mathrm{~N}$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface on which it rests is 0.30 . The weight $w$ is $11.4 \mathrm{~N}$, and the system is in equilibrium. (a) Find the friction force exerted on block $A$. (b) Find the maximum weight $w$ for which the system will remain in equilibrium.
A block with mass m = 10.8 kg rests on an inclined plane with slope θ = 37 deg. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the inclined plane is μs = 0.21. Part B Determine the minimum force F required to push the block up the plane. You can assume that tipping of the block will not occur. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
