Two blocks $\backslash ($ A $\backslash )$ and $\backslash ($ B $\backslash ),$ each having a mass of $5$ kg $,$ are connected by the linkage shown in $($Figure $1).$

Figure Part A

If the coefficient of static friction at the contacting surfaces is $\backslash (\backslash$mu$\_\{$s$\}=0\mathrm{.}5\backslash ),$ determine the largest vertical force $\backslash ($ P $\backslash )$ that can be applied to pin $\backslash ($ C $\backslash )$ without causing the blocks to move. Neglect the weight of the links.
