Block A and Block B is connected by a rigid rod along an inclined plane as shown. Block A weighs 18 lbf and while Block B weighs 7.5 lbf. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the inclined are (?k)A = 0.12 & (?k)B = 0.28. Determine the forced developed with the rigid rod once the blocks were released. The inclined is angled at 25 degrees.
