Question: At the instant shown the ( 1 0 0 - mathrm { lb } ) block ( A ) is

At the instant shown the \(100-\mathrm{lb}\) block \( A \) is moving down the plane at \(5\mathrm{ft}/\mathrm{s}\) while being attached to the \(50-\mathrm{lb}\) block \( B \). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is \(\mu_{k}=0.25\). Neglect the mass of the pulleys and cables.
Part A
Determine the acceleration of \( A \) before it stops.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Part B
Determine the distance \( A \) slides before it stops.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
