Problem 507: Hideclick Here To Show or Hide The Solution

(1) The block is on a 45 degree incline with a coefficient of static friction of 0.25. (2) To start the block moving up the incline requires a horizontal force P that utilizes the maximum static friction. (3) To prevent the block moving down the incline requires a horizontal force P that is the sum of the parallel component of P and the maximum upward static friction force. (4) With a force P of 1780N, friction will act downward as this force exceeds that needed to prevent downward motion.

Problem 507

The 2225-N block shown in Fig. P-507 is in contact with 45 incline. The coefficient of
static friction is 0.25. Compute the value of the horizontal force P necessary to (a) just
start the block up the incline or (b) just prevent motion down the incline. (c) If P =
1780 N, what is the amount and direction of the friction force?

Part (a) Force P to just start the block to move up the incline
The force P is pushing the block up the incline. The push is hard enough to utilize the maximum
allowable friction causing an impending upward motion.












answer

Part (b) Force P to just prevent the block to slide down the incline
In this case, the force P is not pushing the block upward, it simply support the block not to slide
downward. Therefore, the total force that prevents the block from sliding down the plane is the
sum of the component of P parallel to the incline and the upward friction force.












answer

Part (c) Force P = 1780 N
From the result of Part (b), the maximum force to prevent downward motion is 1335 N which is
less than 1780 N. The force P therefore is pushing the block up the incline, thus, friction will act
downward as shown below.
