A uniform wheel of 60 cm dia. and weighing 1000 N rests against a rectangular block 15 cm high lying on a horizontal plane as shown in figure. It is to be pulled over the block by a horizontal force P applied to the end of a string wound round the circumference of the wheel. Find the force P when the wheel is just about to roll over the block.
