Three blocks are connected by a weightless cord and rest on an inclined plane (Fig. P12.34a). Employing a procedure similar to the one used in the analysis of the falling parachutists in Example 9.11 yields the following set of simultaneous equations (free-body diagrams are shown in Fig. P12.34b): 519. 72 216. 55 108. 28 100a 50a R 25a R
