| physics.. blocks... the way i calculated it i get 5.20 kg and 2.90 kg, but...
...both of the answer are wrong? Block B, with mass 5.00 kg, rests on block A, with mass 8.00 kg, which in turn is on a horizontal tabletop. There is no friction between block A and the tabletop, but the coefficient of static friction between block A and block B is 0.750. A light string attached to block A passes over a frictionless, massless pulley, and block C is suspended from the other end of the string.
What is the largest mass that block C can have so that blocks A and B still slide together when the system is released from rest?
nope, its not 9.75
