Question: Problem 4 . ( 1 point ) A horizontal force P is applied to a 3 . 1 kg block on a slope inclined at

Problem 4.(1 point)
A horizontal force P is applied to a 3.1 kg block on a slope inclined at \(\theta=50^{\circ}\) to the horizontal. The kinetic coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is \(\mu_{k}=0.18\). The static coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is \(\mu_{s}=0.36\). The force P is gradually increased until the block just starts to slide and then, exactly at that point in time, it ( P ) is maintained constantly in both magnitude and direction.
(a) Draw a complete free body diagram and submit it to the teacher.
(b) Find the magnitude of the force \( P \).
(c) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the block.
\( P \)
