Block 1 is resting on an inclined frictionless surface. The angle of inclination of the surface is 60 degrees. Block 2 rests on a horizontal surface with coefficients of kinetic and static friction of 0.3 and 0.6 respectively. Block 2 is tied to block 1 by a massless string passing over a massless frictionless pulley. Mass 1 begins at 5.00 kg and mass 2 is 25.00 kg. A small watertight container of negligible mass is attached to block 1 and water is slowly dripped into the container. A) At what mass(block plus container and water) will the first block overcome the friction of the second block and begin to slide? B) What will the acceleration of the blocks be when they begin to slide? C) What will the tension in the string be when they begin to slide?

Block 1 is resting on an inclined frictionless surface. The angle of inclination of the surface is 60 degrees. Block 2 rests on a horizontal surface with coefficients of kinetic and static friction of 0.3 and 0.6 respectively. Block 2 is tied to block 1 by a massless string passing over a massless frictionless pulley.
Mass 1 begins at 5.00 kg and mass 2 is 25.00 kg. A small watertight container of negligible mass is attached to block 1 and water is slowly dripped into the container.
A) At what mass(block plus container and water) will the first block overcome the friction of the second
block and begin to slide?
B) What will the acceleration of the blocks be when they begin to slide?
C) What will the tension in the string be when they begin to slide?
