In the figure below, Box A slides on box B, which slides down an inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the inclined plane and box B is ?, but there is no friction between the boxes A and B. Box B is heavier, such that mB > mA. The string and pulley are massless. a) Draw the free body diagrams for both box A and box B, showing all the forces.
