A wedge assembly, composed of wedges X and Y, is designed to lift crate W whose weight is 1456 N, as shown in the figure below. What will be the maximum force P that can be applied before movement begins if the coefficient of friction for all surfaces of contact is 0.0875? Draw all necessary free-body diagrams and indicate the direction of impending motion. GIVEN: 1C° = 14° 1D° = 15° 1E° = 16°
P 10° 1456 N W 1Dº Y 1E⁰
