Question: The 4.5-kg block A and the 3-kg block B are connected by a slender rod of negligible mass. The coefficient of static friction is 0.40

The 4.5-kg block A and the 3-kg block B are connected by a slender rod of negligible mass. The coefficient of static friction is 0.40 between all surfaces of contact. Knowing that for the position shown the rod is horizontal, determine the range of values of P for which equilibrium is maintained.
