Question
Three blocks with masses ma = 25 kg, mg = 50 kg,
and mc = 100 kg are connected with a flexible cable that
passes over a frictionless pulley as shown in Fig.
Determine the force P required to start moving the blocks
if the coefficient of friction is 0.50 between blocks A and B,
0.35 between block B and the surface, and 0.26 between
block C and the surface.
