Question

Blocks AB, and C are placed as in the figure(Figure 1) and connected by ropes of negligible mass. Both A and B weigh 21.2 N each, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between each block and the surface is 0.40. Block C  descends with constant velocity. Find the tension in the rope connecting blocks A and B. What is the weight of block C? If the rope connecting A and B were cut, what would be the acceleration of C
