Example: Class I
A 100-lb force acts on a 300-lb block on an inclined plane. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane are μs = 0.25 and μk= 0.2. Determine whether or not the block is in equilibrium and find the value of the friction force.
Check Equilibrium
Example: Class I cont.
For the F.B.D. Write Eqns of Equilibrium
Thus To Maintain Equilibrium. the Friction Forces MUST Add 80lb to the Existing 100lb Push Now Given μs, Find MAX possible Value for F
