Homework H18.B Given: An inhomogeneous, trapezoidal-shaped block has a weight of W and its center of mass at point G. The block is at rest on a rough, inclined surface, with the coefficient of static friction between the block and the inclined surface being μ. A homogeneous bar with a weight of Ws is then attached to the right side of the block, as shown below. Find: For this problem: a) Determine the maximum weight of the bar for which the system remains in equilibrium. Express you answer in terms of W. b) For the weight found above in a), is the block in a state of impending slipping or tipping? Explain. For this problem, use the following parameter value: 0 = 30° and u,= 0.70. 2d * 2d -2d-d2d-2d- B W₂
