In the system shown two blocks A and B are joined by a negligible ground cable passing through a fixed pulley that does not broken. Block A has a mass of 45 kg and the coefficients of static friction are 0.40 between rope and pulley and 0.30 between blocks and inclined planes. Determine: a) The maximum mass of block B that will cause the block A slides down. b) The minimum mass of block B that will cause block A to slide up. c) Explain the condition of the system if the mass of block B were 80 kg.

Question

In the system shown two blocks A and B are joined by a
negligible ground cable passing through a fixed pulley that does not
broken. Block A has a mass of 45 kg and the coefficients of
static friction are 0.40 between rope and pulley and 0.30 between
blocks and inclined planes. Determine:

a) The maximum mass of block B that will cause the
block A slides down.
b) The minimum mass of block B that will cause block A to slide up.
c) Explain the condition of the system if the mass of block B were 80 kg.
