Question

For the system shown, the masses of A and B are 55 kg and 135 kg, respectively. The coefficient of static friction between block B and the surface C is 0.12 and the coefficient of static friction between blocks A and B is 0.10. The coefficient of friction between the rope and the pulley is 0.10.

a. What is the tension force in the rope connected to block B if the system is in equilibrium?

b. What is the magnitude of the friction force between block B and the horizontal surface C if the system is in equilibrium?

c. What is the maximum mass M that can be suspended as shown and still maintain equilibrium?
