The strings and frictionless pulleys have negligible masses.  The coefficients of kinetic friction is 0.25 and static friction is 0.30.  Block A has a mass of 3 kg and block B has a mass of 4 kg.  a) What is the maximum mass block C can have before block B will start to move?  b) If block C has a mass of 7 kg and was 1 m above the ground, how long would it take block C to hit the ground starting from rest?
