FBD Block B:
Tension in cord is equal to W A = 25 lb from FBD’s of block A and
pulley.
ΣFy = 0:

N − WB cos 30° = 0,

N = WB cos 30°

(a) For smallest WB , slip impends up the incline, and

F = µ s N = 0.35WB cos30°
ΣFx = 0:

F − 25 lb + WB sin 30° = 0

( 0.35cos30° + sin 30° )WB = 25 lb
WB min = 31.1 lb
(b) For largest WB , slip impends down the incline, and
F = − µ s N = − 0.35 WB cos30°
ΣFx = 0:

Fs + WB sin 30° − 25 lb = 0

( sin 30° − 0.35cos30° )WB = 25 lb
W B max = 127.0 lb

FBD Block B:

Tension in cord is equal to WA = 40 lb from FBD’s of block A and
pulley.
(a)

ΣFy = 0:

N − ( 52 lb ) cos 25° = 0,

N = 47.128 lb

Fmax = µ s N = 0.35 ( 47.128 lb ) = 16.495 lb
ΣFx = 0:

Feq − 40 lb + ( 52 lb ) sin 25° = 0

So, for equilibrium, Feq = 18.024 lb
Since Feq > Fmax , the block must slip (up since F > 0)

∴ There is no equilibrium
(b) With slip,

F = µk N = 0.25 ( 47.128 lb )

F = 11.78 lb

Fmax = µ s N = ( 0.30 )( 78.503 N ) = 23.551 N
For equilibrium:

Tension in cord is equal to P = 62.5 N, from FBD of pulley.

W = (10 kg ) 9.81 m/s 2 = 98.1 N
ΣFy = 0:

N − ( 98.1 N ) cos 20° + ( 62.5 N ) sin15° = 0
N = 76.008 N

Fmax = µ s N = ( 0.30 )( 76.008 N ) = 22.802 N
For equilibrium:

ΣFx = 0:

( 62.5 N ) cos15° − ( 98.1 N ) sin 20° − F = 0

Feq = 26.818 N > Fmax

so no equilibrium,

and block slides up the incline

Fslip = µ x N = ( 0.25 )( 76.008 N ) = 19.00 N
