Block B is released from rest and pulls Block A up the rough surface as shown in Figure Q2(a). Knowing that the mass for block A is 180 kg and the mass for block B is (110+a) kg, where a = 8. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block A and the surface is 0.4. Pulleys are massless and smooth. With suitable diagram(s), determine the accelerations of Block A and B.
