A wedge is used to separate a 250 kg crate and a 2500 kg crate that are adjacent. The wedge has an angle of 200, and is placed between the crates. The coefficient of static friction between the wedge and the crates is s = 0.15, and the coefficient of static friction between the floor and the crates is s = 0.42. Write two equilibrium equations that describe the equilibrium around the 250 - kg crate and write two equilibrium equations that describe the equilibrium around the wedge. Which crate will move first? Y X 7/1 P 0=20° 2500 kg 250 kg
