    Magnitude of P
    A block of mass 8.00 kg is pushed up against a wall by a force P that makes a 50.0° angle with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.27. Determine the possible values for the magnitude of P that allow the block to remain stationary.

    I drew out the free-body diagram for this problem. And that is pretty much as far as I got. I know that g=9.8 will come into play as well as sin and cos. However, I'm just not sure how they all figure out... any suggestions?
