Answer: hello some data related to your question is missing attached below is the missing data and diagram related to the solution
answer:
P = 141.21 N
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of crate = 50 kg
coefficient of static friction ( μ ) = 0.25
Calculate minimum horizontal force ( P ) that holds the crate from sliding
∑fx = 0
= P + Fcos θ - N*sinθ = 0
= P + 0.25N cos 30° - Nsin30° = 0
∴ P = 0.2835 N = 0
P - 0.2853 N = 0 ------- ( 1 )
∑fy = 0
- 50g + Ncosθ + Fsinθ
- 50*9.81 + Ncos30° + 0.25Nsin30°
∴ N = 494.942 N ----- ( 2 )
input 2 into 1
P - 0.2853 ( 494.942 ) = 0
P = 141.21 N
