question 9

Short Answer

FIGURE 5-3
-Two masses are connected by a string which goes over an ideal pulley as shown in Fig. 5-3. Block A has a mass of 3.00 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 0.400. What mass should block B have in order to start block A sliding up the ramp?
