A 6.49 kg block is at rest on a horizontal surface. Attached to this block is a massless, stretchlessstring. On the other end of the string is a hanging mass (mB).

A block of mass 20kg is pushed against a vertical wall by force P. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the block is 0.2. If theta = 30 degrees, what is the minimum magnitude of P to hold the block still?I understand that in order for the block to sit motionless, the net forces acting on the block must be zero. I set my equation to be Net Force = 0 = Psin(theta) + Force Friction - Force Gravity.Which I rearranged as P = (Force Gravity - Force Friction)/sin(theta) or P = (mg-μ(mg))/sin(theta)Doing this gives me a value of 313.6N rather than 202.9N which I should be getting. What am I doing wrong?
Consider two peoplepushing a toboggan with four children on it up a snowcovered slope. Construct a problem in which you calculatethe acceleration of the toboggan and its load. Include a freebody diagram of the appropriate system of interest as thebasis for your analysis. Show vector forces and theircomponents and explain the choice of coordinates. Amongthe things to be considered are the forces exerted by thosepushing, the angle of the slope, and the masses of thetoboggan and children.
