Question: Two blocks ( A ) and ( B ) shown in ( Figure 1 ) have a weight of 1 0

Two blocks \( A \) and \( B \) shown in (Figure 1) have a weight of 10 lb and 6 lb , respectively. They are resting on the incline for which the coefficients of static friction are \(\mu_{A}=0.15\) and \(\mu_{B}=0.25\). Determine the angle \(\theta \) which will cause motion of one of the blocks. What is the friction force under each of the blocks when this occurs? The spring has a stiffness of \( k=2\mathrm{lb}/\mathrm{ft}\) and is originally unstretched.
