Concept explainers
Block A has a weight of 8 lb and block B has a weight of 6 lb. They rest on a surface for which the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.2. If the spring has a stiffness of k = 20 lb/ft, and it is compressed 0.2 ft, determine the acceleration of each block just after they are released.
