Question:

Two packages are placed on an incline as shown. The coefficients of friction are μs = 0.30 and μk = 0.25 between the incline and package A, and μs = 0.20 and μk = 0.15 between the incline and package B. Knowing that the packages are in contact when released, determine

(a) The velocity of each package after 3 s,

(b) The force exerted by package A on package B.
