GO Fig. 5-46, three ballot boxes are connected by cords, one of which wraps over a pulley having negligible friction on its axle and negligible mass. The three masses are mA = 30.0 kg, mB = 40.0 kg, and mC = 10.0 kg. When the assembly is released from rest, (a) what is the tension in the cord connecting B and C, and (b) how far does A move in the first 0.250 s (assuming it does not reach the pulley)?

- A block of mass m = 10.5 kg rests on an inclined plane with a coefficient of static friction of µ, = 0.11 between the block and the plane. The inclined plane is L = 6.9 m long and it has a height of h = 3.3 m at its tallest point. Write an expression, in terms of 0, the mass m, the coefficient of static friction u, and the gravitational constant g, for the magnitude of the force due to static friction, F, just before the block begins to slide.

If the coefficient of static friction between the rock and the ground is µs = 0.283, and the mass of the hiker is m, = 70.1 kg, what is the maximum mass of the friend m; that the rock can hold so the hikers can then make their way up over the ledge?
