Question: Q 1 1 . A moment M is being applied to a disc, resting on a horizontal floor, in the counterclockwise direction as shown in

Q11. A moment M is being applied to a disc, resting on a horizontal floor, in the
counterclockwise direction as shown in figure Q11, with the aim of moving the right-angled
triangular block, that is wedged between a vertical wall and the disc, in the upward direction.
Given that the weight WA of the triangular block is 20N, the angle q is 37, the weight WB of
the disc is 100 N , the radius r of the disc is 1 m , and coefficient of friction between all
contacting surfaces is 0.2, find out whether the wedge will actually start to move upwards or
stay in place with the disc spinning. What is the value of the moment at which this motion will
impend?
