In the figure below, the mass of block A is 25 kg and mass of block B is 40 kg. The coefficients of static friction are 0.6 between blocks A and B, 0.2 between block B and the floor, and 0.5 between the rope and the fixed drum. Determine the minimum mass, m, of the weight suspended from the rope right at the point where first motion occurs. You may assume that the rope is aligned parallel and perpendicular to the floor, and that neither of the blocks will tip. Hint: You need to consider two sliding cases, calculate minimum m for each, and pick the smaller m of the two.

A student wants to determine the range of masses that can be hung to keep a block at rest on a table as shown. The coefficient of static friction between the 30 kg box and the surface is 0.3 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15. What is the smallest mass (m) that will keep the system at rest? In this case, what is strength of the friction? In this case, what direction is the friction? What is the largest mass (m) that will keep the system at rest? In this case, what is strength of the friction? In this case, what direction is the friction?
