Q2.[0.6\%]
Object \( B \) is leaning against a wall while sitting on a wedge W . The weight of B is 1000 N . If \(\theta=10\mathrm{deg},\mu=0.3\)(for all surfaces) and the weight of the wedge is almost zero when compared to the weight of \( B \), calculate the following:
(a) The minimum force, P , required to push the wedge into the gap between B and the ground.
(b) The Normal forces, N1, N2 and N3 and the frictional forces, F1, F2 and F3 created by this minimum force P. Hint: Use the Free Body Diagrams provided.
