Question: Block A is held above the ground and the cable from block A tends directly upward. Block A has a mass of 9 1 0

Block A is held above the ground and the cable from block A tends directly upward. Block A has a mass of 910 lb.Block B is connected to block A through a taut, inextensible cable. The coefficient of friction (static and kinetic) between block B and the supporting surface is 0.250. The angle theta is 0.8781 radians
Determine the mass of block B, in lbm, that will result in block A rising 50 feet in 3.00 seconds. You may assume that (a) the lines are weightless and frictionless; (b) that the cable is taut; (c) that the force from block B is instantaneously transmitted to block A at time =0(thus acceleration is constant); block A contacts only the cable; and (d) the velocity of both blocks is 0 at time =0.
Block A is held above the ground and the cable
