Find the value of P required to cause the system of blocks

shown to have impending motion to the left. The coefficient

of friction under each block is 0.20. Use α = 15°
A uniform bar AB, weighing 424 N, is fastened by a
frictionless pin to a block weighing 200 N as
shown. At the vertical wall, μ = 0.268 while under
the block, μ = 0.20. Determine the force P needed
to start motion to the right.

MOMENT OF INERTIA
Moment of inertia, also called the second moment of area, is the product of area and
the square of its moment arm about a reference axis.
