Shown below is a system of blocks and frictionless pulley. Block A has a mass of 5.0 kg and is on a rough surface (μs = 0.40). Block C has mass of 4.0 kg. An external force P = 25.0 N is applied vertically on Block A to keep system in static equilibrium. The magnitude of the force of friction, f, on block A is closest to:
