Calculate the horizontal force P on the light 14° wedge necessary to initiate movement of the 54-kg cylinder. The coefficient of static friction for both pairs of contacting surfaces is 0.37. Also determine the friction force Fg at point B. (Caution: Check carefully your assumption of where slipping occurs.)
