Figure 4 shows a block \(A\) of mass \(m\) held at rest on a rough plane.
The plane is inclined at an angle \(\alpha\) to the horizontal and the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is \(\mu\).
One end of a light inextensible string is now attached to \(A\). The string passes over a small smooth pulley which is fixed at the top of the plane.
The other end of the string is attached to a block \(B\) of mass \(k m\).
Block \(B\) hangs vertically below the pulley, with the string taut.
The string from \(A\) to the pulley lies along a line of greatest slope of the plane.
Both \(A\) and \(B\) are modelled as particles.
When the system is released from rest, \(A\) moves up the plane and the tension in the string is \(\frac { 4 m g } { 3 }\)
Given that \(\mu = \frac { 1 } { 3 }\) and \(\tan \alpha = \frac { 7 } { 24 }\)
- find the magnitude of the acceleration of \(A\), giving your answer in terms of \(g\),
- find the value of \(k\).
- Find the magnitude of the resultant force exerted on the pulley by the string, giving your answer in terms of \(m\) and \(g\).
