Consider two blocks, P of mass 100 kg and Q of mass 150 kg, resting as shown in the figure. The angle 𝜃= 30°. The coefficient of friction between the two blocks is 0.2. Assume no friction exists at all other interfaces. The minimum force required to move the block P upward is W. Which one of the following options is closest to the CORRECT magnitude of W (in N)?
- A. 862.2
- B. 1116.6
- C. 2900.0
- D. 406.2
Answer: A. 862.2
