A parcel of weight 10 N lies on a rough plane
inclined at an angle of 30? to the horizontal.
A horizontal force of magnitude P Newtons acts on
the parcel, as shown in Figure 2. The parcel is
in equilibrium and on the point of slipping up
the plane. The normal reaction of the plane on
the parcel is 18 N. The coefficient of friction
between the parcel and the plane is ?.
Find (a) the value of P,
(4) (b) the value of ?.
(5) The horizontal force is removed. (c) Determi
ne whether or not the parcel moves.
