Question

Blocks A, B, and C are placed as shown in the figure and connected by ropes of negligible mass through the pulleys of neglible mass and friction. Both blocks A and B have mass  mA=mB= 2.5 kg each while the mass of block C is mC= 6.5kg . The coefficient of kinetic friction between blocks A and B and the surface is μk= 0.4. Initially, the system is at rest. Once released, the blocks move rightward,

Find the magnitude of the acceleration of the system.
