In the figure shown the blocks weighs 400 N each. It is held in the position by a belt that passes over a fixed wheel , the belt being subjected to a horizontal force P at its end. The coefficient of friction between blocks and the inclined plane is 0.20 and 0.25 between the belt and the wheel. Calculate the ff: a. Magnitude of P in N when the block is at impending motion up the plane. b. Tension in the belt near the block in newtons. c. Contact angle between the wheels and the blocks.

Question

In the figure shown the blocks weighs 400 N each. It is held in the position
by a belt that passes over a fixed wheel , the belt being subjected to a
horizontal force P at its end. The coefficient of friction between blocks and
the inclined plane is 0.20 and 0.25 between the belt and the wheel.
Calculate the ff:
a. Magnitude of P in N when the block is at impending motion up the
plane.
b. Tension in the belt near the block in newtons.
c. Contact angle between the wheels and the blocks.
