Question: ( 5 - 8 ) . The 2 0 - k g block in Fig. P 5 - 8 rests on a 3 0 incline.

(5-8). The 20-kg block in Fig. P5-8 rests on a 30 incline. Knowing that s=0.25, determine the magnitude and direction of the smallest force
P required to cause the block to start sliding
up the incline.
(5-9). From Problem 5-8, determine the magnitude and direction of the smallest force P required to prevent the block from sliding down the incline.
