Question: The 2 0 0 - l b block is sitting on a 3 0 inclined surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the

The 200-lb block is sitting on a 30 inclined surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and
the surface is 0.50. A light, inextensible cord is attached to the block, passes around a frictionless
pulley, and is attached to a second block of weight M, i.e.,M= tension in cable
Determine
a) The FBD of the 200-lb block (FBD not needed for block M)
b) The minimum weight (Mmin) such that the system is in equilibrium (keeps block from sliding
down)
c) The maximum weight (Mmax) such that the system is in equilibrium (keeps block from sliding
up)
d) Would the block tip given the maximum condition?
The 2 0 0 - l b block is sitting on a 3 0
