Solution

It appears that the file contains several situations involving friction, forces, and boxes. Below are the three situations outlined:

  1. Situation #1: You are asked to determine the weight of Box B that prevents Box A from sliding, given the coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.25.

  2. Situation #2: The task is to find the force PP that must be applied to Box A in order to prevent it from sliding, with the same coefficient of static friction.

  3. Situation #3: Similar to Situation #2, this asks for the force PP applied to Box A to prevent it from sliding, again with the coefficient of static friction of 0.25.

For solving these, I can use the principles of static friction and Newton’s laws. Would you like me to walk you through solving any of these specific situations, or would you like me to proceed with a general solution for each?
