I've tried with the axes being x down the incline and y perpendicular to the incline. sum of the forces in the x for the block is zero. The forces down the incline is gravity, which is mgsin 40 and coefficient of static friction*normal. I'm not sure what the normal is, and how the force...

Homework Statement A block of mass .5 kg is on a wedge of mass 2.00 kg. The inclined surface makes an angle of 40 degrees with the horizontal. The wedge is subjected to a horizontqal force F and slides on a frictionless horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block...

does not slide.
