A block weighing 100N is held on a 40˚ incline by a bar attached to a 150N block on a horizontal  plane. The bar, which is fastened by smooth pins at each end, is inclined 20˚ above the horizontal.  The angle of friction between each block and its plane is 18˚. Find the horizontal force P applied to  the 150N block which will cause to be on the point of moving (a) to the right; (b) to the left

A block weighing 100N is held on a 40˚ incline by a bar attached to a 150N block on a horizontal 
plane. The bar, which is fastened by smooth pins at each end, is inclined 20˚ above the horizontal. 
The angle of friction between each block and its plane is 18˚. Find the horizontal force P applied to 
the 150N block which will cause to be on the point of moving (a) to the right; (b) to the left

A block weighing 100ON is held on a 40* incline by a bar attached to a 150N block on a horizontal
plane. The bar, which is fastened by smooth pins at each end, is inclined 20* above the horizontal.
The angle of friction between each block and its plane is 18*. Fin the horizontal force P applied to
the 150N block which will cause to be on the point of moving (a) to the right; (b) to the left.
