Question
### Problem Description

Consider the system shown in the figure. Block A has weight wₐ, and block B has weight wᵦ. Once block B is set into downward motion, it descends at a constant speed. Assume that the mass and friction of the pulley are negligible.

### Part A

Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction μ between block A and the table top.  
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables wₐ, wᵦ, and g (the acceleration due to gravity).

\[ \mu = \]

Submit button below the input box for the answer.

### Additional Parts

- **Part B**: Complete previous part(s).
- **Part C**: Complete previous part(s).

### Hint

There is an option to view available hints.

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram labeled as Figure 1 of 1 shows:

- Block A is placed on a horizontal table.
- Block B is hanging vertically through a pulley system.
- The pulley is attached to the table's edge.
- Block B descends vertically when set in motion.

### Feedback

An option is available to provide feedback.
