Question: Please solve : 4 . Two blocks are connected by a string which goes over an ideal ( i . e . , massless )

Please solve : 4. Two blocks are connected by a string which goes over an ideal (i.e., massless) pulley as shown in the figure above. Block A has a mass of 3.00 kg and can slide along a rough plane inclined \(30.0^{\circ}\) to the horizontal. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between block \( A \) and the plane are 0.400 and 0.250, respectively.
(a) What mass should block B have in order to start block \( A \) sliding up the ramp? [Answer: 2.54 kg ]
(b) Now assume that the mass of block \( B \) is increased by \(50\%\) from its value in (a). What is the kinetic energy of block \( A \) when block \( B \) has fallen 10 cm ? Assume that the blocks started from rest.
