Question

Statics: dry friction.

Two boxes are attached to a pulley with coefficient of static friction of u= .25. The static coefficient of friction between box 1 and the concrete is us = .62. Box 1 is being pulled horizontally and box 2 is being suspended vertically. When the boxes are on the verge of moving in the direction of the force P, calculate: 

W1 = 3 lb

W2 = 11 lb

1 - The tension in the cable on the side of the pulley attached to box 2

2 -The tension in the cable on the side of the pulley attached to box 1.

3 -The maximum frictional force opposing the motion of box 1.

4 - The force P
