Question 9: Determine the range of weights W for which the 100-lb block is in equilibrium.
All wheels and pulleys have negligible friction.
Question 10: The coefficient of static friction μs between the 100-lb body and the 15o wedge
is 0.20. Determine the magnitude of the force P required to begin raising the 100-lb body if (a)
rollers of negligible friction are present under the wedge, as illustrated, and (b) the rollers are
removed and the coefficient of static friction μs = 0.20 applies at this surface as well.
