The masses of the blocks A, B, and C shown in Fig. (a) are 4 kg, 2kg, and 2kg, respectively. Block A moves with an acceleration of 2.5
ms−2.
a. Block C is removed from its position and placed on block A, shown in fig (b). What is now the acceleration of block C?
b. The positions of the blocks A and B is subsequently interchanged. Find the new acceleration of C. The coefficient of friction is the same for all the contact surface.
