1) If the masses of the blocks A and B are 7 kg and 9 kg respectively, the coefficient of static friction between block A and the ground is 0.1, and between block B and the ground is 0.1, and the angle 0 is 28, determine the minimum force Pthat is needed for block A to slide to the left. Do not consider other situations. Please pay attention: the numbers may change since they are randomized. Your answer must include 1 place after the decimal point and proper unit. Take g = 9.81 m/s².

A car of mass 700 kg travels round a horizontal curve of 60 m radius. The centre of gravity of the car is 1.25 m above the ground and the distance between the wheels is 1.7 m. If the limiting coefficient of friction between the tyres and the road is 0.6 determine, with reason, whether the vehicle will skid or overturn when rounding the bend at speed. Hence state the maximum permissible speed to navigate the curve safely.
