Chapter 6, Problem 6.10P
For the block-and-wedge system shown in Figure 6.17 , 
calculate the force P required to initiate upward motion of the block. The block supports a load of 700 Ib, the slope angle of the wedge is 9°, and the coefficient of static friction on the two surfaces of the wedge is 0.25. The vertical surface (C-C) is frictionless. Compare the result with Example 6.7 /.

The figure shows a system with a block m1 attached to a simple square thread screw with a mean diameter of 10 mm, a pitch of 3 mm and whose coefficient of static friction on the thread is 0.35. Block m1 is attached to block m2 by a rope, each of blocks m1 and m2 have a mass of 4 kg.Block m2 is in turn attached to a 15-kg block W by another rope, which passes over a static drum where the coefficient of static friction is 0.20. Determine the required Moment M that must be applied to the screw to start lifting block W. The coefficient of static friction between the surface and blocks m1 and m2 is 0.25.

As seen in the figure. Block A is pulled 50-/V force. The static friction coefficient between block A and B is 0,5 and kinetic friction coefficient is 0,3. Similarly, the static friction coefficient between block B and the floor is 0,4 and kinetic friction coefficient is 0,2. Is there a motion at blocks? Calculate the friction forces between blocks and the Block B and the floor.
A panelboard sheet hangs in vertical position while gripped between the jaws of a clamp. One side has coefficient of static friction of 0.30 with the clamp and the other a coefficient of 0.45. How much horizontal force must each face of the clamp exert if the sheet weighs 150 N ? How much vertical force will each face of the clamp then exert?
