Chapter 14, Problem 14-15(choose chapter or problem)
The two blocks A and B have weights \(W_{A} = 60 \ lb\) and \(W_{B} = 10 \ lb\). If the kinetic coefficient of friction between the incline and block A is \(\mu_{k} = 0.2\), determine the speed of A after it moves 3 ft down the plane starting from rest. Neglect the mass of the cord and pulleys.
