2. From the given figure and data below. Determine the: a. P so that the structure is stable (in equilibrium) b. Draw the FBD of the member BC c. Reaction at A Weight of the member AB and BC = 50kg H...

I'm quite confused whether we're going to consider the friction at C going to the left or going to the right since by inspection, the object has the tendency to slip to the right so we'll have friction on the opposite direction. On the other hand, we can have friction to the right since there is force P acting on member BC. How do you solve this?
