Block A supports a pipe column and rests as shown on wedge B. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction at all surfaces of contact is 0.25 and that 0 = 45degrees, determine the smallest force P required to %3D raise block A.

QUESTION 1) The cross sectional Е, A, Е, А, areas of the KM and MR intervals are A1 = 400 mm? and A2 respectively. Both sections are made = 200 mm², from the same material that has elastic L. M N R K modulus ofE = 200 GPa. If the gap in figure is 8-5mm and the axial forces are Pi = 120 kN and P2 1m 2m 2m 1m = 80 kN; a) Calculate the support reactions. b) Draw the axial force diagram.
