Question
A
В
Block A with mass ma rests on a horizontal tabletop,
while block B with mass mB hangs from a string of
negligible mass that passes over a pulley and attaches to
block A, as shown above. The pulley has negligible mass
and rotates with negligible friction about its axle. The
blocks are at rest due to friction between block A and the
tabletop. The coefficient of static friction between block
A and the tabletop is u (mu), where µ < 1.
(a) Determine the magnitude of the tension in the string.
Briefly explain your reasoning.
