Question: A block ( A ) weighing 1 kN rests on a rough inclined plane whose inclination to the horizontal is 4 5 . This block

A block (A) weighing 1 kN rests on a rough inclined plane whose inclination to the horizontal is 45. This block is connected to another block (B) weighing 3 kN rests on a rough horizontal plane by a weightless rigid bar inclined at an angle of 30 to the horizontal as shown in Fig.7. Find horizontal force (P) required to be applied to the block (B) just to move the block (A) in upward direction. Assume angle of limiting friction as 15 at all surface where there is sliding. [Ans.1.8 KN ].
