Question: The 10-kg block B is supported by the 40-kg block A which is pulled up an incline by a constant 500 N force. Neglecting friction

The 10-kg block B is supported by the 40-kg block A which is pulled up an incline by a constant 500 N force. Neglecting friction between the block and the incline and knowing that block B does not slip on block A, determine the smallest allowable value of the coefficient of static friction between theblocks.

40 kg A 10 kg B 30 500 N

40 kg A 10 kg B 30 500 N
