The coefficient of static friction between wedges B and C

Chapter 8, Problem 8-65

(choose chapter or problem)

The coefficient of static friction between wedges B and C is \(\mu_s = 0.6\) and between the surfaces of contact B and A and C and D, \(\mu_s’ = 0.4\). If the spring is compressed 200 mm when in the position shown, determine the smallest force P needed to move wedge C to the left. Neglect the weight of the wedges.
