Block A with mass ma rests on a horizontal tabletop, while block B with mass me hangs from a string of negligible mass that passes over a pulley and attaches to block A, as shown above. The pulley has negligible mass and rotates with negligible friction about its axle. The blocks are at rest due to friction between block A and the tabletop. The coefficient of static
friction between block A and the tabletop is (mu), where i <1
(a) Determine the magnitude of the tension in the string. Briefly explain your reasoning.
