Two blocks are connected by a very light string passing over a pulley, which is rotating. The pulley has the shape of an uniform solid disk of mass mp and diameter d (moment of inertia of a pulley I=mpR3). Initially, the me block is moving downward and the mA block is moving on the table to the right, both with the speed of v. The blocks come to rest after moving distance s. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the A block and the tabletop. Two blocks are connected by a very light string passing over a pulley, which is rotating.
