5.92 .. Block B, with mass Figure P5.92 5.00 kg, rests on block A, with mass 8.00 kg, which in turn is on a horizontal tabletop (Fig. P5.92). There is no fric- B A tion between block A and the tabletop, but the coefficient of static friction between blocks C A and B is 0.750. A light string attached to block A passes over a frictionless, massless pulley, and block C is suspended from the other end of the string. What is the largest mass that block C can have so that blocks A and B still slide together when the system is released from rest?
