Two blocks A and B have a weight of 10 Ib and 6 Ib, respectively. They are resting on the incline for which the coefficients of static friction are. μA = 0.15 and, μB = 0.25. Determine the angle θ which will cause motion of one of the blocks. What is the friction force under each of the blocks when this occurs? The spring has a stiffness of, k = 2 Ib/ft and is originally unstretched.
