Static friction
Question

A block of mass m, lying on a rough horizontal plane, is acted upon by a horizontal force P and another force Q, inclined at an angle θ to the vertical upwards. The block will remain in equilibrium, if minimum coefficient of friction between it and the surface is

Moderate
Solution

N = mg - Qcosθ

P+Qsinθ=μN=μ(mg-Qcosθ)

  μ=(P+Qsinθ)(mg-Qcosθ)
