along the exit ramp, the car's speed is 13.5 m/s, and it is h = 11.3 m above the freeway. What is the magnitude of the average

shown in Figure P5.53. The coefficient of static friction
between the block and the wall is 0.250. Determine the
possible values for the magnitude of P that allow the
block to remain stationary.
