Problem 3- Blocks A, B, and C are connected by ropes and placed as in the figure. Both A and B weigh 22.6 N each, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is 0.40. Block C descends with constant velocity.
a) Draw free-body diagram of objects A, B, and C.
b) Find the tension in the rope connecting blocks A and B.
c) What is the weight of block C?
d) If the rope connecting A and B were cut, what would be the acceleration of C?
