Q1Forces and EquilibriumFree sample

Fig. 1.1

A block $B$ of mass $7\text{ kg}$ is at rest on rough horizontal ground. A force of magnitude $X\text{ N}$ acts on $B$ at an angle of $15^{\circ}$ to the upward vertical (see diagram).

(i)

Given that $B$ is in equilibrium find, in terms of $X$ , the normal component of the force exerted on $B$ by the ground.

(ii)

The coefficient of friction between $B$ and the ground is $0.4$ . Find the value of $X$ for which $B$ is in limiting equilibrium.
