Let's apply the Newton's Second Law of Motion in projections on axis x and y:
Pcosθ−Ffr−Wsinθ=0,N−Wcosθ−Psinθ=0.
Let's rewrite our equations:
Pcosθ−μsN−Wsinθ=0,N=Wcosθ+Psinθ.
Let's substitute N into the previous equation and solve for P:
Pcosθ−μs(Wcosθ+Psinθ)−Wsinθ=0,P=cosθ−μssinθW(sinθ+μscosθ),P=cos45∘−0.25⋅sin45∘2140 N⋅(sin45∘+0.25⋅cos45∘)=3566.67 N.
