Three blocks m1=8.00 kg, m2=6.00 kg and m3 are connected by massless strings that pass over frictionless pulleys placed at the edges of the table. Block m1 rest on the horizontal tabletop which has a coefficient of static and kinetic friction of 0.155 and 0.133, respectively. Blocks m2 and m3 are suspended on both ends of two strings that are connected to block A. What should be the mass m3 such that when the system is released from rest, block m2 ascends at a constant rate of 1.20 m/s2 ?

Question

Three blocks m1=8.00 kg, m2=6.00 kg and m3 are
connected by massless strings that pass over frictionless
pulleys placed at the edges of the table. Block m1 rest on
the horizontal tabletop which has a coefficient of static
and kinetic friction of 0.155 and 0.133, respectively.
Blocks m2 and m3 are suspended on both ends of two
strings that are connected to block A. What should be
the mass m3 such that when the system is released from
rest, block m2 ascends at a constant rate of 1.20 m/s2
