The coefficient of static friction μs between the 121-lb body and the 16° wedge is 0.28. Determine the magnitude of the force P required to begin raising the 121-lb body if (a) rollers of negligible friction are present under the wedge, as illustrated, and (b) the rollers are removed and the coefficient of static friction μs = 0.28 applies at this surface as well.
