Question: The block shown in ( Figure 1 ) has a mass of m = 6 5 k g , a height H = 1 .

The block shown in (Figure 1) has a mass of m=65kg, a height H=1.2m, and width L=1.7m. It is resting on a ramp that makes an angle =33 with the horizontal. A force P is applied parallel to the surface of the ramp at the top of the block. What is the maximum force that can be applied without causing the block to move? The coefficient of static friction is s=0.42, and the center of mass of the block is at the center of the rectangle.
