Question:

A cable passes around three 2-in.-radius pulleys and supports two blocks as shown. Pulleys C and E are locked to prevent rotation, and the coefficients of friction between the cable and the pulleys are μs = 0.20 and μk = 0.15.Determine the range of values of the weight of block A for which equilibrium is maintained
(a) If pulley D is locked,
(b) If pulley D is free to rotate.
