A blue block and a red
block are connected by a
simple string (its not
stretchy). The blue block sits
on a ramp inclined at some
angle . The string passes
over a massless pulley so
that the red block hangs
straight down into the
nothingness (no air this time). There is friction between the blue block and the ramp. If the system is released from rest, in which direction will the static friction force point?
