B A Figure above shows a box B with a mass mg sits on top of a cart A with a mass ma. Both cart A and box B are initially at rest. Cart A is then pulled to the right with an acceleration as. The coefficients of friction between the bottom of the box B and the cart A are µg = 0.5 and µk = 0.3, and 0 = 15". a) Draw the free-body diagram and the kinetic diagram of box B. b) Find the minimum acceleration of cart A, a^(min)» Which will cause box B to slide down.
