Blocks B has a mass of 20kg and block C has a mass of 15 kg. The coefficient of static friction at the contacting surfaces is 0.2. Block A is suspended by a rope that passes over a fixed cylinder and is attached to block B. The coefficient of static friction between the rope and the cylinder is 0.25. What is the largest mass block A can have without causing block B to slip the left?
