In the figure,two blocks are connected by a uniform strut attached to each block with frictionless pins. Block $A$ weighs $400 \, N$,block $B$ weighs $300 \, N$,and the strut $AB$ weighs $200 \, N$. If $\mu = 0.25$ under block $B$,determine the minimum coefficient of friction under block $A$ to prevent motion.

    $0.4$
  • B
    $0.2$
  • C
    $0.8$
  • D

Consider a system of blocks $A$, $B$, and $X$ as shown in the figure. The blocks $A$ and $B$ have equal mass $m$ and are connected by a massless string through a massless pulley. The coefficient of friction between block $A$ and $X$, and between block $B$ and $X$, is $\mu = 0.5$. If block $X$ moves on the horizontal frictionless surface, what should be its minimum acceleration $a$ such that blocks $A$ and $B$ remain stationary relative to $X$? ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity.)
