In the figure below, two blocks of weights WA and WB are connected by a rope. The static friction coefficient between the surface and blocks are uA and uB. You can ignore the friction between rope and pulley.
???Find the smallest WB / WA for the system to be in static equilibrium (WB about to slide up).
???Find the biggest WB / WA for the system to be in static equilibrium (WB about to slide down).
???Recalculate part (a) and part (b) for uA =0.3, uB=0.1, theta A = 30°, and theta B = 45°
