Question

Two blocks are connected by a string which goes over an ideal pulley. Block A has a mass of 3.53 kg and can slide along a rough plane inclined 30.0° to the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between block A and the plane is 0.43. What maximum mass can block B have in order for block A to start sliding down the ramp?

Step 1

Step 1: Identify the forces acting on block A when it is on the inclined plane: - Weight of block A acting downward - Normal force exerted by the inclined plane perpendicular to the plane - Static friction force acting up the incline - Tension in the rope pulling Show more…
