In the figure below,a particle A of
mass 2kg is lying on a rough wooden
block.The particle A is connected by
a light inextensible horizontal string
passing over a smooth light fixed
pulley at the edge of the block,to a
particle B of mass 3kg which hangs
freely. The coefficent of friction
between the particle A and the surface
of the block is μ.
Given that the string is taut and the system is released from rest such that the particle move with an
acceleration of 4ms^(−1) . Find
a) the tension
b) the value of μ.
