Question

A mass M is at rest on a tilted tabletop, tied to a string which is tied to a second mass m that hangs off a pulley on the edge of the tabletop. The tabletop is tilted at an angle of ? = 15 degrees.  If the coefficient of static friction between M and the tabletop is ?s = 0.7, and M = 2.5kg, how large does m have to be to start the blocks moving? Please answer in kilograms.

Expert Solution
Step 1

When the block is about to start  friction will be maximum and the forces on mass M will be balanced
