A block A of mass m₁ rests on a horizontal table. A light string connected to it passes over a frictionless pulley at the edge of table and from its other end another block B of mass m₂ is suspended. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is  μ_k. When the block A is sliding on the table, the tension in the string is

A plank with a box on it at one end is gradually raised at the other end. As the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches \(30^{\circ}\), the box starts to slip and slides \(4.0\) m down the plank in \(4.0\) s. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the box and the plank, respectively, will be:
                         

A system consists of three masses m₁,m₂ and m₃ connected by a string passing over a pulley P.
