Block A with a mass of 1.2 kg is at rest on a flat, horizontal, frictionless table 1 m from the edge. A string is tied to Block A at one end, and the other is tied to Block B, which has a mass of 2.6 kg. While Block A is being held in place on the table, Block B is lowered over the edge of the table and allowed to hang freely. When Block A is released, it slides to the edge of the table. Assume that the string has an insignificant mass. How much time does it take for Block A to reach the edge of the table?

A force F acts to the right on a 6.4 kg block. A 3.43 kg block is stacked on top of the 6.4 kg block and can slide on it with a coefficient of 1. 40.72541 2. 22.0506 friction of u1 =0.2 between the blocks. Both pulleys are massless and frictionless. The string is also massless. Note the axle of the upper pulley is free to move so it will accelerate to the left as the 6.4 kg block accelerates to the right. Think carefully about the magnitude of that axle's acceleration. The axle of the lower pulley is fixed at the position shown. The table has a coefficient of friction of 3. 49.393639 O 4. 56.648308 5. 39.322021 O 6. 31.94706 O 7, 42.29855 H2 =0.19.
