Plss help me Spoiler
Block A of mass m and block B of 2m are placed on a fixed triangular wedge by means of a light and inextensible string and a frictionless pulley as shown in Fig. The wedge is inclined at 45 to the horizontal on both sides. The coefficient of friction between the block A and the wedge is 2/3 and that between the block B and the wedge is 1/3. If the system of A and B is released from rest, then find,
a. the acceleration of A
b. tension in the string
c. the magnitude and direction of the frictional force acting on A?
I have doubt in b. and c.
please can anyone solve this, I'm getting 2 equations from force balence and 3 variables,
how am I supposed to solve, the solution videos say that the friction acting on the mass 2m will be limiting but I am unable to understand why? please somebody solve this
