Block A in Figure EX7.6 is sliding down the incline. The rope is massless, and the massless pulley turns on frictionless bearings, but the surface is not frictionless. The rope and the pulley are among the interacting objects, but you’ll have to decide if they’re part of the system.

a. Draw an interaction diagram, following the steps of Tactics Box.

b. Identify the “system” on your interaction diagram.

c. Draw a free-body diagram for each object in the system. Use dashed lines to connect the members of an action/reaction pair.
