1. Two blocks are in static equilibrium
(a) If block A has a mass of 15 kg and coefficient of static friction 0.2 find the maximum mass of block b
(b) If an extra 5 kg are added to B find the acceleration of A and tension T in the rope. (coefficient of kinetic friction os 0.17)
(a)
Calculate the maximum mass of block B.
Thus, the maximum mass of block is 3 kg.
(b) If extra 5 kg are added to B, the mass of B would become 3+5 = 8 kg.
The tension in the rope can be calculated as-
The acceleration of A is -
