A rectangular block (Object B) is on the ground where the coefficient of friction between the block and the ground is 0.25. The weight of the block is at the centre of the block. There is a triangular loading acting against the one of vertical faces of the block. Gravity=9.8 1m/s2. (a) If the height of the triangular loading is 60m. can the block slide or overturn? (10 marks) (b) What is the maximum Z to ensure that the block will not overturn or slide? (5 marks) (c) Comment on the possible structure representing this set up (5 marks) Object B 100m 50 Tonnes P=9.81*Z kN/m
