The coefficient of static friction $\mu_{s}$ between block $A$ of mass 2 kg and the table as shown in the figure is 0.2. What would be the maximum mass value of block $B$ so that the two blocks do not move? The string and the pully are assumed to be smooth and massless ($g = 10\ ms^{- 2}$) [image:5_image91.emf]
