Question
Consider the scenario in the figure below. The mass of block 2 (hanging vertically) is 72.7 kg.
The coefficient of static friction between block 1 and the table is 0.250. Find the minimum mass
of block 1 (in kg) for which the system will remain at rest. Assume that the mass of the ropes are
al negligible. Hint: apply Newton's 2nd law to block 1, block 2, and the knot. Set every
acceleration equal to zero, since nothing is moving!
