**Title: Understanding Static Friction and Inclined Planes****Educational Content:****Problem Statement:**Two packages are connected by a very light string that goes over an ideal pulley, as illustrated in the diagram. Package A has a mass of 3.0 kg and can slide along a rough plane inclined at 30° above the horizontal. The string exerts a force parallel to the surface of the plane. The coefficient of static friction between Package A and the plane is 0.40. What minimum mass should Package B have in order to start Package A sliding up the ramp?**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram shows:1. An inclined plane with an angle of 30°.2. Package A, with a labeled mass of 3.0 kg, placed on the inclined plane.3. Package B is hanging vertically, connected to Package A via a string passing over a pulley.4. The pulley is assumed to be ideal (frictionless and massless).In the problem:- The inclined plane provides resistance through static friction.- The goal is to determine Package B's mass needed to overcome static friction and move Package A upward.**Key Concepts:**- **Static Friction:** A force that resists the initial motion of an object. It acts opposite to the direction of the intended movement and must be overcome to initiate sliding.- **Net Force Calculation:** To find the mass of Package B, calculate the forces acting on Package A (gravity, normal force, and static friction) and solve for the force needed to overcome these.- **Inclined Plane Mechanics:** Analyze the components of forces parallel and perpendicular to the plane to solve for the unknown mass.
